No-Till Results in Our Not So Perfect Soil

Would you call this method deep mulch? No-till raised beds? Just good old-fashioned top-down soil amendment? Whatever you want to call it, a deep layer of bulk organic (mainly composted wood material) allowed us to overcome the difficulties of our heavy clay-like, crusted soil to established this long mixed border in less than one year. Visitors to the farms have commented "well you must have a pretty good soil to begin with!" - then I show them the exposed area. Dry, cracked, lacking organic matter. On its own, it's a difficult surface for new plants to overcome (especially in the dry season). Mulch moderates the moisture, temperature, and gives young roots a foothold in the garden.
