I have a website that documents techniques to do things easier, faster or
better at www.efbetter.com. Do you have any unusual gardening tips, tricks
or techniques that you'd be willing to contribute?

Use mulch, preferrably organic (grass, hay, shredded leaves, etc). It
does three important things --- 1) keeps weeds down 2) Regulates
soil temperature 3) Regulates soil moisture

Compost all paper, vegetable and fruit wastes which would normally be
put into the garbage (banana peels, strawberry tops, carrot and potato
slicings, waste from a fridge-cleaning, etc.). This will cut garbage
output at LEAST by half, and also help the garden without expensive
topsoil or fertilizer.
