Best known for her no-work garden books, Ruth Stout is an American author. Frustrated by traditional techniques and practices, Ruth simply planted seeds and waited to see what happened. Eventually, she determined that thick mulch was the best method for a low-maintenance, organic garden. Ruth wrote several books and had a long-running series of articles in Organic Gardening and Farming magazine on her gardening methods. She left the copyright to How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back to Plan International USA, a humanitarian assistance and international development organization focused on girls' rights.
