We're relatively new to 'no dig' and acquired an allotment last year. We've already had some success, in spite of starting as late as April with a site that was covered in plastic and overgrown with couch grass!
We've used a manure mulch over the winter (so far) and just planted broad beans into holes created in cardboard that we've also used as a mulch for the first time. Very excited about what 2025 holds!
