cheap gardening tricks and techniques
Someone at 2013.org mentioned building a greenhouse with PET bottles. They collect PET in big containers all through town so they should be easy enough to come by. They're therefore cheap and lightweight to move.
Someone on that thread mentioned the danger of gusts of wind but the shape of the bottles helps diminish that problem and if one were to build as a dome, it should be okay.
Also, one can use the bottles for plants individually like this:
One can also surround the plant with bottles filled with water, to maintain heat during the night. One can also paint the bottles to gather more heat.

low or no till gardening
Masanobu Fukuoka's Natural Farming and Permaculture
"[h]e tried more than twenty different ground covers before noticing that white clover was the only one which held back weeds effectively"
"He tried spreading the straw neatly over the fields but found the rice seeds could not make their way through. In one corner of the field, however, where the straw had scattered every which way, the seedlings emerged."
"Instead of deciding which vegetables would do well in which locations he mixes all the seeds together and scatters them everywhere. He lets the vegetables find their own location, often in areas he would have least have expected."
