Quote from: "milkman"
Why not be daring and just stop digging altogether?  the only digging i do these days is to harvest my spuds, parsnips (when I manage to grow any) and carrots.  Let the worms do the work.  I know MJ disagrees with me so no need to comment Munty  :wink:
I'm 100% with you there milkman.   And I wouldn't put a rotavator anywhere near my garden for fear that it would chop up the worms.

I'll concede that other soil types might need different handling but the no-dig approach works just great for me.

i dont disagree with ya milky. just cant be bothered to worry about the werms n other things that are supposed to do the work i know a machine or digging""  supposedly  "" damages the soil but i make up for that by dumping tons of muck in ,and besides im not into eco stuff , farmers have been doing it with antler horns n sticks for thousands years hon so its good enough fer me

And what about the greenhouse in the 'new plot' pix, Munty? Is that one of the freebies you scored? (I can see where you missed that bit)  :lol:

Don't frighten me like that Tali! I had to work backwards to find out what you were on about!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

My fault, I read newspapers from the back to the front as well.

Having got there there I realised I'd seen it all 7 months ago!
