No-Dig Gardening for Aging Bodies: Mulch Over Machines

Rotavators clog on residue; plowing’s too heavy. Switch to no-dig (Ruth Stout method): lay thick mulch (straw, leaves, compost) year-round. Plant by pulling mulch aside, seeding, replacing mulch. Transplants: clear spot, plant, remulch.

Mulch suppresses weeds, feeds soil, retains moisture, zero tilling. Books/DVDs by Ruth Stout explain fully. Ideal for limited mobility—work with nature, not against it.
