In theory I'm a great fan of no-dig, have read lots of Charles Dowding's stuff and watched his videos, as well as lots of American evangelical 'back to Eden' material. In practice, though, I'm a bit of a prisoner of my own habits, I own a rotovator and a Mantis, and I'm deterred by the effort of obtaining and transporting large quantities of mulch material.
As an example of my foolishness - this summer a long-term allotment neighbour finally bowed to serious illness, and gave up his plot. He bequeathed me his large, aged compost heap. With my son who was visiting from France I spent 3 hot afternoons digging out and barrowing the compost some 100 yards to my plots, where we spread it on 2 previously rotovated areas, totalling some 80 square yards.
One part of me said, fine, leave it over winter as no dig beds. I rather wish I'd had the faith and done that. But some not entirely rational impulse made me rotovate it in, rake it level, and sow with a mixture of rye grass and vetch. which has now germinated and is about 4 inches high, despite the dry weather.
I'd welcome comments as to whether I've just been indulging in massive waste of effort and resources...
