We have long waiting lists for vegetable gardens in the village whereI live. I was very happy I finally had the opportunity to pick one at a nearby garden association in October 2022.
The garden I picked was full of perennial flowering plants and neglected old apple trees, and was totally overgrown with brambles and bindweed. During my preparation for this garden I came across Charles’ video’s and website and immediately decided that No Dig was the way I wanted to maintain my garden.
I have made 8 no dig beds with wood chip on the paths in this 100m2 allotment. It has provided our family with loads of fresh fruits and vegetables right from the start already.
I learned a lot my first year and got lots to learn in the years to come. But It is really fantastic how easy it is to maintain a no dig garden and it’s a joy to look at and work in!
