The Magic is in the layering ... the secret is how he started. The first layer was wood chips, then he realized it had no nutrients. From there on he sources his wood chips only from gardening/landscaping companies that include leaves and grass cuttings in the bulk of the wood shavings. he also top dress with chicken manure infused wood chips that he sources from his chicken husbandry ..
The mulching prosses has been selectively tested by various gardeners .. one lady grows potatoes with only grass mulching that she sources from her neighbors.
The main advantage of the mulching is moisture retention. If Paul applies water it is merely in new beds when sowing seeds...
His established areas doesn't need watering except what rain season provides...
Ruth Stealh also became world famous with her no till garden that is on based on basically the same principal.
Many Gardeners has videos about growing from Ginger and Garlic in Hay or Straw Mulch to Potatoes.
Understanding the Nutrient requirements of various produce can help build a Back To Eden Style Garden in less than one Growing Season.
