Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Alan Whitaker <alan@dunbrokeus.com>]

Ken,

I'm using no-till mulched permanent beds for vegetables.  I'm convinced 
that is he way to go.  But what is suggested for root crops?
We grow a lot of sweet potatoes here and I mulch the bottoms heavy with 
straw and it suppresses the weeds.  But when we go to dig, it all gets 
turned under...........
