Re: Fwd: Maybe try the No-till way (Was Pioneer Plants)

By they way, my garden is somewhat no-till, but not on purpose. Much of it
is due to just laying down mulch to keep weeds at bay and make the yard
look nicer. Recently i was doing some digging and noticed in areas i had
disturbed the soil less, and it stayed moister, the bottom layer of much
had turned black and was starting to look like the black earth of the
nearby Salinas valley. Some parts had very obvious fungi feeding off of
the mulched wood (you could see it as a white stringy mass). So, the
structure of the soil here is gradually improving. 

Which reminds me, I need to buy even more mulch to replace that which has
broken down and or has gotten pushed into the sandy soil.
