I have been following Charles and his philosophy for No Dig for three years. We are 600 feet up a hillside in a lovely little village. I make my own compost which is very good.
I am a firm believer in No Dig as it has saved me lots of time in weeding! Useful as I am a keen grower of herbaceous plants and we have opened our garden twice under the NGS.
I am 70 years old this year and can still manage to look after our one acre garden of woodland plants, trees, perennials, vegetables and large lawn (husband mows though).
