Henrik Melsom Edvardsen

Sjernarøyane, Stavanger region, Norway

I was fortunate late 2022 to borrow a piece of land which used to be a vegetable patch some 30 years ago, turned into pasture, and neglected for the last decade.

As I’m commuting to work from Stavanger to Oslo on a weekly basis, the development takes time. And the plot has to be able to look after itself for days or weeks.

The last beds will be made this spring.  

No dig is fantastic in this respect.

The local farmers was sceptic and are now amazed by the productivity, as are passers-by.  The ambition is to develop the plot further into a very local community market garden.

I start in my greenhouse in town, transported in the back of the car :-)

In the neighborhood we have a tiny summer house.

And here I’ve run my no dig kitchen garden for 15 years, gradually expanding towards forest garden, including flowers for bouquets as spring presents.
