Have you ever come across http://backtoedenfilm.com/ ? check it out! What you were talking about here is exactly that method. It works. And I just realized that this completely looks like spam, so I'll clarify that this is a gardening method that uses mulching and he just plants straight through the mulch, as you were mentioning. He lives in the same state as I do and has unbelievable results. Hope you've already come to the conclusion that this method works, but you should check out the film anyway. There are a lot of interviews on youtube about him as well.

Colored ink can contain heavy metals and bright white paper is bleached with chlorine. The heavy metals can build up in soil and be taken up by the plants you are growing. I am not an expert but I know organic standards will not allow wood ash to be used as a soil amendment if newspaper or cardboard with colored inks have been used to start your fires.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-28254131014906211442010-04-22T12:22:00.859-04:002010-04-22T12:22:00.859-04:00Blind3Monk3y-
