I have had problems trying to set up No-Dig growing spaces in the past, mainly because of a few types of problematic weeds. So when planning to set up a new growing space for high value quick rotation crops, I decided to take the time to kill off all the vegetation, and to then dig over the full ground, before establishing no-dig beds.
0:00 Digging Before No-Dig
1:15 Gradual Shift to No-Dig
3:02 Weeds are the Big Issue
4:53 A Year Under Cover
6:37 Several Methods of Digging
8:22 Fertility, Compost and Woodchip
9:46 Good Growth, Few Weeds
10:54 Worth the Effort for a High Value Space
Help me develop these gardens and make more videos through regular contributions patreon.com/redgardens
Or use paypal.me/redgardens as a simple, once-off way to support this project and the time and energy that goes into making videos. Thanks so much!
