Not sure if you’ve been around Lake Wendouree when they clean it out and dump it at Vic Park on Gillies St for free pick up but it stinks! People are there taking trailer loads of the stuff for their gardens.
Wondering with so much repeating top ups lots of water etc have you considered wicking beds? Here in wa where we get day's of 40 plus c then strong winds wicked beds from the logs save me about 50 % of my water precious supply
The concept of no dig doesn’t contemplate the aeration like you are doing, by top dressing and then watering the top layer the layers below will then absorb the water. Particularly as evidenced by Charles Dowding any disturbance of the soil is bad. He has published and done RUclips video’s showing how much crops are decreased for doing it. Be interesting to see if Craig agrees
Yeah it seems like he strayed away from the no dig because I thought you just top it up and don’t do much work, then again I don’t know as I’ve never tried I garden the old fashioned way but Vasili has plenty of worms so something he’s doing is working 🤷🏻♂..
@ it’s not that it won’t work it’s more about not breaking the network in the soil and maximising yield. No dig means no dig, not no dig but aerate. It’s an important concept in no dig if keeping that network connected and aerating does the opposite. However as I said in my experience its better just to top up or gently scarify
@@badboybennyhill ok Ty for the explanation no dig means no dig, since im into the health benefits of growing your own food I might leave a little patch in my garden where I don’t dig and I’ll do my old fashioned way and I’ll plant exactly the same plants in both and check the brix levels at the end, that’s going to be my project for 2025..
@@badboybennyhill since you know about this stuff and I’ve heard about this no dig system and not breaking up the underground network would brix levels tell me which way is the best? I’m all for learning new things and as I said I grow for health benefits but I grow the old ethnic way that we’ve done for generations put manure till the soil but the world evolves well everything evolves so if there’s a better way why not? But I need proof that the food I grow is actually better for me so does measuring the brix levels tell me this?? And no dig looks like a lot less work too..
Remember he is gardening in the UK with a completely different native soil and climate and even CD does some minimal digging at times, rarely but has done so over time and has aerated some beds in the past too. No dig makes sense, it's one philosophy amongst many others.

Why are you not shipping growing medium to Adelaide?
There’s click and collect in Davoren Park and Thebarton. Perhaps too expensive shipping to individuals.
Wonder if we get as many white cabbage moth butterfly things this year
Doesn’t look this bad this year but they’re always around last year was an anomaly I.m.o I’ve seen a lot of earwigs though..
@HardCandy-d9q yeah if it's not one thing, it's something else
