This approach of vegetable gardening is what I prefer. As you might have guessed, it doesn’t involve digging. This technique is particularly suited to older people or folks with physical disabilities. But I just prefer it simply because I believe it’s better for the soil.

When soil is turned more than it destroys the soil structure. Whenever you create a no-dig plot you aren’t disturbing the topsoil at all, this signifies that the soil microbes, worms and creatures can carry on doing what they do greatest within your garden.

For your best outcomes inside your garden, you want to aim for no compaction from the soil. Drinking water, air and nutrients travel via the soil by pathways made by worms and plant roots. When soil is compacted these pathways are destroyed.

By designing you plots to be no more than say 1.25metres (4 feet) across (and however long you need) it is possible to steer clear of having to stand in it. If you begin with a tiny bed, (1.25m x 2.5m / 4’ x 8’) you are able to plan it so which you can expand when you’re ready.

No matter what your location, no dig vegetable gardens are a fantastic choice for you. It indicates that it doesn’t matter what sort of soil you are starting out with as the layering of materials above the surface will continue to feed and condition your soil. Eventually you may wind up with dark, nutrient rich soil.

A No Dig garden bed is produced on top with the ground. It could be built over present garden beds, lawns and even difficult or rocky ground – even concrete. It should be situated in an area that receives a minimum of six hours sun (preferably morning sun) a day and that has great drainage.
When preparing the plot it is not essential to pull up lawn or an present garden, you will be ‘smothering’ what is already there.

<b>Building your plot</b> <br>
I like to install irrigation prior to creating my plot as I locate it saves me so a lot time and trickle irrigation (on a timer) is really a far far better solution to h2o than by hand or sprinkler.
One thing to often bear in mind when handling manures, soil or any organic matter would be to often wear tough gloves to protect you from bacteria getting into any cuts. Then wash your hands thoroughly when you’re finished inside the garden. <br>
1. Form the outside walls of the plot. You are able to use logs, old planks, pavers, bricks, stones, sleepers etc. If you’ve disabilities you might want to obtain assist with this. <br>
2. Lay down a thick layer of wet newspaper (I use an old baby bath filled with water to soak the newspaper), producing certain it totally covers the enclosed location. It ought to be a minimum of 6mm (quarter inch) thick and overlap by about 75mm (3inches). This will kill off any weeds and much more from growing. Only use newspaper and glossy, coloured paper has chemicals. <br>
3. Lay down pads (or biscuits) of lucerne hay or pea straw, producing sure there are no gaps between pads. <br>
4. Add a 20mm (&frac34;inch) layer of great organic fertilizer (chicken manure is fantastic). <br>
5. Cover with about 200mm (8inches) thick of loose straw. <br>
6. Add another 20mm (&frac34;inch) layer of great organic fertilizer (blood & bone etc). <br>
7. Finish off with a top layer of compost, about 100mm (4inches) thick. <br>
8. H2o well and allow to settle. <br>
9. Plant out seedlings after 2 or 3 weeks (not seeds).<br> <br>

Some of the benefits of creating a no-dig, raised plot include: <br>
– can be built anywhere, any time to any design<br>
– keeping your garden tidy, with easy access<br>
– stops birds from scratching your mulch everywhere<br>
– it mirrors nature by produce a rich, organic environment for your plants<br>
– once set up, it’s virtually maintenance free<br>
– helps prevent destruction from snails, rabbits etc.

Inside your new garden the best veggies are potatoes, lettuce, brassicas and cucurbits (cucumber family).<br> Root crops are much better once your plot has matured.
It is better to have mixed plantings of vegetables and herbs, rather than long rows or a whole bed of 1 type of plant. Companion Planting benefits your garden in many ways, including pest and disease prevention and growing healthier, a lot more vigorous plants.
Keeping your beds topped up with compost and/or mulch helps prevent weeds, retain moisture and promotes steady healthy growth.
