George Mertens and Rita Lutz

We started our no dig Journey in 2021.

We are growing vegetables here in the northwest of Ireland on four different plots on our property. In total, we have about 120sqm under cultivation for vegetables and 7 raised beds totalling about 15sqm for medicinal and culinary herb cultivation.

We are using a small greenhouse at the moment entirely for seed propagation but hopefully we will be able to afford a polytunnel soon to extend the growing season and be able to grow more tender crops as well.

Our ultimate goal is to become food self-sufficient in the not-too-far-future.
