Short visit to the Podoll Family organic no-till garden near Fullerton, ND. It details their use of mulching and crop rotation to build soil fertilty for excellent vegetable production. Created on October 7, 2011 using FlipShare.
You can plant into a tilled garden free of perennial weeds, control annuals until your crops grow, and then mulch when the plants are more than 6" tall. That will be the last weeding of that year, and you will be off to a great start.
If you have perennial weeds either dig them out, cover them with a tarp for a few weeks, or spray them with glyphosate at the right time. Tarps and spray can make for a garden directly from a lawn. Then plant as above and follow the Podoll methods.
So How do you start it?
