That's all detailed in a 24 page (or something like that) article on variious 
methods in the soil's issue of our journal (THE INTERNATIONAL PERMACULTURE 
SOLUTIONS JOURNAL).   Only one method I claim to have worked out, and credit 
is given for the inspirations (including Bill) for that method, of the many 
described.   That's already a very compressed form for that amount of 
material and I can't see trying th encapsilulate the abridged.   However the 
short answer is that raised beds have their place.  

I never read of Ruth Stout filling asiles with mulch, by the way.  Which of 
her books describes that.   I know that she documented mulch techniques and 
Bill does give her some credit sometimes, to be fair about it.
