No-till Gardening: The Use of News
The New York Times has an excellent article called "Fending off Weeds with Newsprint" at:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/09/garden/09garden.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
I have written on this topic too (see index for "bed" or "no till"- the entry is called "EASY garden bed preparation"). There are lots of benefits to not tilling or tilling only minimally....
Happy Gardening!
