1st time allotmenteer in year 3 and my no dig has been very successful, thank-you Charles Dowding.
It was a field which the council kept short and they fenced some new 8mx8m allotments after the covid demand.
It’s a south facing, slightly lumpy exposed slope but with no dig I’m enjoying it very much.. Weeding is easy unlike for my neighbours who just keep on digging, they like digging. I hint at the alternative but no takers so far.
Other than achieving straight edges, the biggest challenge is heavy manure and compost gathering (I’m still making beds, 4 so far), holding the grass back and pigeons and slugs. 🐌 C’est la vie.
