I took on this 300 square metre allotment in February 2023 and spent the Spring & early Summer clearing, digging and planting in the traditional way.
Then I came across Charles’s videos and gradually converted, first mentally then practically, to no-dig.
I’ve restructured the space into 5ft beds with woodchip paths, beefed up the compost operation massively and am ready to go 100% no-dig in 2024.
Most veg did pretty well in my year zero but I’m excited to see how much better the harvests can be in year one, with a bit less backache!
