Brilliant video! Agree totally - we have been no-dig for a couple of years now and are rewarded with SUPERB crops, the soil is much healthier, we have lots more worms and very happy robins! Just one comment - we could never find enough mulch to cover bare areas so we ddo Chop n Drop - that is, when we have lots of unwanted leaves, say outside cabbage leaves, potato tops and comfrey leaves, we put them in a bu kettle, chop em up with shears then sprinkle them thickly on bare soil. This works brilliantly, the worms love it, are busy pulling the shredded leaves down. So this trick improves AND and protects our soil! Simples!!!
your comment sums it up perfectly, I would never do it any other way now and it’s less work 👍 I also like the chop and drop method but have easy access to woodchip and really helps with flooding in my garden. thank you for your kind comment 😊
