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 can grow over any surface at all

Weeds	Water Soaked Soil	Frozen Soil
Concrete	Old Tennis Court	Rubbish
