No Dig Garden

What is a No Dig Garden?

It is just as it says, it's a garden that doesn't require any digging at all, none, not even the slightest amount.

The idea is that you introduce all of the compost, soil, mulch etc directly onto the surface.

* You have not disturbed the topsoil at all, this means that the microbes living there are still alive and able to assist the soil in your new garden.
