September 17- Conversion to No-Dig

Bed 1 after spud harvest- sown with green manure, leftover old legume seeds and dressed with manure and homemade garden compost.

Bed 3 Dug and weeded.
 
Having now discovered the Charles Dowding method of 'No-Dig' I have not dug out another weed anywhere!

I may have to change my name!

Beds 3 (dug) ,4 & 5 (covered)
 
 

I shovelled 22 (liftable) bags of this lovely well rotted horse manure from a local stable. It's a shame we don't have a trailer and a 4x4!



Soil conditioner from our local recycling centre- 2 uk pound a bag- I treated myself! Its made from all the 'green' waste recycling collected at the tip.



Bed 3 dressed with soil conditioner and horse manure. (I should have done it the other way around!)
