Brian Mcguigan

County Donegal, Ireland

I moved here to Southwest Donegal in September 2021 after living in Southeast England.

I came across Charles in 2015 and attended one of his Homeacres open days a few years later and have been gardening No Dig ever since.

I have 5 No Dig beds measuring 5 feet wide by 25 feet long on a very slight slope all running North to South.

My Polytunnel is 14 feet wide by 20 feet long containing 3 beds also on the same orientation as the garden beds.

I make my own compost in 3 bays measuring 6 feet by 5 feet which I fill from my half acre plot however I do need to buy in potting compost. Wood chipping, cow and horse manure are readily available in my area.

What I can’t eat I give away to neighbours and friends and hope that in time I can sell it locally.
