Hi all Apologies for the hour late upload... the truth is, we were in fact, working until the very last minute today in the rain with a hired Timberwolf TW 230HB wood chipper to also finish this video.

Anyway when I first shared a tour of our new 4 acre farm last year, I talked about growing vegetables using Charles Dowding's no dig gardening for beginners. And ever since then, we'd been saving cardboard to suppress weeds.

But I had quite a few people chime in at the time to say a no dig garden bed wasn't economically viable with the constant upkeep of buying more multipurpose compost, sorting pathways, protection, and any hidden costs.

So I talk about how I give it a go for the first time to create over 30sqm (maybe more like 40), and give you a breakdown of the costs it incurred to hopefully help you make up your mind, and whether you'd prefer getting a rotavator, and what areas you can save money.

And as always, let me know what you'd do differently!

Here are the Charles Dowding No Dig videos I recommend watching:
No dig gardening for beginners    • NoDig Gardening for Beginners: Step...  
No dig explained in 3 minutes    • No dig explained in 3 minutes
