Seems to be a lazy man`s way of growing veg, and also an expensive way too. Different layers of organic materials are placed on the ground and crops are grown in that.

With the cost of a bale of straw these days I can`t see many people trying this method. After all why cover up the soil when soil was put there for that very purpose?

I wouldn't say lazy, it can make veg growing more accesible to those less able bodied.

I never could understand this  :blink: as you need to add loads of manure/compost to the surface each year, isn't moving that about just as difficult for the less able bodied

I suppose in a way I practise this. I mulched my fruit trees and rhubarb with well rotted FYM and in this  I grow salad crops. Their roots may get to the soil eventually but they are being sown onto rather than into the ground.
