Mulch Gardening
"Nature abhors bare ground......"
Through education, observation and intuitive sense the founders at EarthVoice have
successfully promoted 'No Work' gardening through extension classes and on-site
demonstrations at Northern Illinois locations.
Many gardeners have been convinced that the creative process whereby humans coax
nature to produce food-producing and aesthetically useful plants requires hard labor,
tilling, watering, weeding and constant attention to fine details to have success.
Volumes of detailed books, written by 'experts' are devoured each year on subjects of
dubious use to the average gardener. In fact, the weight of detail and information
displayed by most gardening books and 'experts' has convinced a great deal of busy
people that they don't have the time or energy to garden at all...... quite a loss.
But, there's a great deal of good news !
Frequently Asked Questions
How would one start with Mulch Gardening ?
Basically the EarthVoice method of mulch gardening entails creating permanent
pathways in the garden area that allow access around an area of permanent
beds. After the pathways are laid out the area between the paths is 'raised' by
successive 'sheet mulching' using various biodegradeable materials
What background or history does it have ?
Nature has, of course, created soils and lush plant growth through mulch
decomposition for centuries. Ruth Stout, one of the people to first write about
this method referred to it as the "No Work Garden." She considers digging soil or
turning compost heaps a waste of energy and pointed out that the composting
process occurs naturally throughout her garden as the thick mulch decomposes.
Another advocate of this natural method is Masinoba Fukuoka, author of "The
One Straw Revolution." He claims that the best ways to garden are found by
observing nature. When gardening, he uses no digging tools and returns all plant
residues back to his mulch, which he keeps at least six inches deep. He states a
good mulch will "suppress weeds, return moisture, encourage earthworms,
shelter beneficial microbes, and enhance tilth."
What materials does it take and how do I do it at home on a budget ?
Some various items we've used or heard work well are animal manures,
compost, corn cobs (chopped), grass clippings, hay, leaves (preferably
chopped), peat moss, salt hay, sawdust (rotted for the beds), seaweed/kelp,
stalks (chopped), straw and wood ashes. Once you get into the mulch mentality
and you will start finding mulch materials in the most unlikely places (hops from a
brewery has been reported and on and on....).
While you can go out an purchase materials part of the fun is in the creativity of
the process. Such item's as natural fiber clothing and newspapers find a very
important use in such a system ! We typically have found use for such non-
organic materials such as plastic bag's, and roofing felt for under the walkway
mulch. When a large amount of shredded wood bark came our way for paths on
one job we tore open each bag and used it as weed suppression in the path
directly ahead of us..
