How to plant direct?

I think I would plant through the leaf mould but make sure for brassicas they have their roots in some firm ground below. I'd be surprised if it is still 3" deep though.

Do you mean plant (as in putting in small plants) or sow (as in putting seeds in)?

Sow.

I put about 3inch of leaf mulch ...Do I plant through it?

Just push the mulch aside and plant into the soil underneath. If you plant into the mulch itself, you risk the plants drying out (as rain won't always get through the mulch).

I sink a few cut-off pop bottles around the place, and water into those, rather than soaking the surface ~ it's more efficient with time & water, and more effective because water goes to the roots rather than evaporating
