Seriously, just the work and time it saves in NOT having to weed makes it worth it to me. It's almost "no work" gardening.
This site explains the concept and gives the basics. He also has a book.I ran across the concept on a blog a couple of years ago and have never looked back.

Tinkk-We also have LOTS of yard space. We've put in little haphazard gardens but this year is going to be different!

I'm a huge proponet of "square foot gardening". Greater yields in small spaces, much less work, less water usage, less resource use and depending how you choose to set it up, easy for those with physical limitations.
We have a large acreage with plenty of space, but over the last couple of years I've completely switched over to square foot and container gardening. I put plenty of fresh food on the table and still have more than enough to freeze and can for the winter months.
