I have been using the no dig method of gardening since about 2016. The amount of gardening and self-sufficiency I have achieved would never have been possible for me without this approach as I have no help in the garden and my body would not have managed digging etc. I love the structure of the soil, that I can work on it and stand on it and it doesn't compact and get claggy and muddy. I now have a plentiful supply of veg and fruit year round.
