Default No-till

My plan last year was based on a modified no till method by Ruth Stout. With
a pile of hay and fabric for ground cover. Due to my weed issues. I skipped
the no till part though. And I'm looking at what I have now and its a mess
out there. Plants , leaves, grass , bark, branches, weeds laying
everywhere.

So I don't know what to do either. I got the part about screwing up the
worms and nematodes and bacteria . But
tilling sure cleans up the mess doesn't it?
