Well, the title of this blog post is a lovely phrase, but what does it mean to you, when you want to produce your own organic vegetables for the family.For me, the thought of digging the garden is now daunting as I'm beginning to creak and any over exertion results in suffering from aches and pains that can impact my daily life, which isn't good. I've suffered from a bad back for the last few years and have been incapacitated simply from digging a small bit of the garden.
We have very sandy soil, so it isn't very heavy to dig, but does need masses of organic matter to keep the nutrients and water in the soil.
This year I decided to investigate the "No Dig" method of gardening and started researching on Charles Dowding's website.
Work started in the spring and I have had to battle with the family about whether this method would be any use, but luckily I had my mum on my side as apparently my grandad had started using this method many years ago, but I didn't know.I've bought two books by Charles to help me with the planning this year and to try and improve the production of my veg plot.
