I am in my first season of no dig, took on an allotment at the end of summer last year, 2023, which was basically a 6 foot high bramble patch. So even though there has had to be soil disturbance to get out bramble roots, the soil has not been turned over and I am employing the card, manure, seaweed plus wood chip for paths...all free and very plentiful resources here.
I know there are a few of us who are doing no dig in the allotments and no doubt in the wider community too, for such a small island (3 miles by 1.5 miles and approx 2000 residents) it is great to see. We even have a CSA market gardener who is following no dig/minimal disturbance and running a successful veg box scheme.
