I LOVE RUTH STOUT and thank serendipity
>that her books were my introduction to gardening.


All this talk about Ruth Stout is nostalgic for me. When I was young, back
in the late 60's and early 70's, the back-to-the-land movement grabbed me.
Ruth's "No Work Garden Book" was one of the first I bought. I just dug it
out over the weekend while moving books. She's really the Mother of No-Till
Farming if the truth be told and her ideas are as valid today as they were
then.
