In our demonstration garden, we opened up a space in the mulch to plant in.  We planted potatoes under the mulch as she did.  It worked. 
 
Weeds were no problem.  Even the blue weed [one of 12 worst weeds in America] was not a problem.  A few did come up through the mulch but were very weak.  Bermuda grass loved it. I hand dug it out.  No-till works.  When it doesn't, the problem in not the method but the gardener.
 
I am teaching a workshop in Lubbock TX next month and in Alpine TX on Mar 24-25.
