No Dig From Here on Out

Last time I ever till compost in and unearth a bunch of weed seeds! Two days later and I finally finished pulling all the weeds that cropped up!

I guess I’m not even finished. I still have another block to weed and since my veggie starts are so small I don’t know what is what and for fear of uprooting what I’ve planted, I have to let some weeds grow until they’re distinguishable. There’s a guy in Somerset, England named Charles Dowding, who runs a small commercial farm using no-dig methods, with really good results. I found him on Youtube when I was researching how to best garden and, … I’ve got to say, he’s got the right idea.

Here’s one of his videos for anyone interested.
