Would like to hear from members on their experiences of both ideas

@tonytheferret, you can listen to a great podcast all about no till gardening:

Happy New Year 2017 Everyone, and may we have a healthy and productive year.!!!

I think that no till is a good idea if you have good loose soil, but in heavy clay like ours you have to at least loosen the row for seeds.
Not with a tiller or tractor which would compact the soil, but by hand with a shovel.
I do believe in mulch completely and keep all my garden beds covered at least 2 inches deep.
Of course, it depends on how large of a garden you have and how much energy you can muster.

LOL, I see the previous posts are from 2017 but my New Year Resolutions for 2019 are still the same:

Gardening!
Gardening!
Gardening!

And I sure have my work cut out for me since our property (except for mowing) sat idle in 2018 ... the many weeds and invasive vines and trees will take a lot of time to eradicate!

🎉 Have a very fun and safe New Year's eve! Wishing you all an abundance of Happiness, Health, Wealth .... and of course Gardening in 2019!

My new project for this year is to start a new Pollinator garden

Yep those are my resolutions!
