dig a hole and drop a seed I think is what I remember about it, yes?
I read this a long time ago and loved it, if I read it now I have no idea what I would think about it-
I have changed quite a bit since then
if anyone is interested I googled and found it online here

Thanks for the link. I loved this book when we read it together. Yes, it is about simple, "no-work" gardening (like Ruth Stout, whom you might also enjoy reading), working with nature.

A great read. I never would have read it were it not for this forum.

Thank you! I just looked up
Ruth Stout, never heard of her before, definitely will read her books, do you recommend a particular one.
Here is a video of her I found on youtube

I just love Ruth Stout! My ambition is to be like her.
I'm not sure it matters much which of her books you read, I think they are all pretty much the same, with her mulch, don't plow, no poisons, no work message.

I somehow picked up this old post. Wow, right up my alley, love this stuff.
I watched the video about making roofing shingles out of tin cans.
A neat idea although I don't like the sharp edges.
My artist friend makes airplanes and other art adventures out of tin cans.
