I created an organic, no-dig veg and fruit patch in my garden in 2022 (still feel very much a beginner) and have followed Charles from the beginning. His book, sowing calendar and videos are hugely helpful.
I have 11 beds, a greenhouse, 3 pallet compost bays, plus a couple of terraces nearer the house, which I use for salad and herbs. Last month we created a wildlife pond to encourage frogs, to help control the many slugs we have.
2022, my first year, went pretty well but 2023 was much more difficult and I lost several crops, including all my tomatoes. I remain hopeful!
The photo shows the garden in mid-April 2024. The only things you can see growing outside are garlic, field beans, and raspberries, but lots of seedlings coming on in the greenhouse.
