Monty Don, the Chairman of the Soil Association goes NO DIG at last!
In this article he has proclaimed that the best thing you can do is to spread a layer of compost over the land twice a year before planting.
Hooray! Well Done Sir! (we are so glad we sent him a sample) This is the No Dig system from the Good Gardeners. We sent him 40 Kg’s of HH-4 and he has tried it out. But somehow he is calling his page DIG FOR VICTORY?
The Good Gardeners research has reduced the effort to Spread HH-4 compost over the ground 1″ deep over the winter period and you need only do it once a year. We call it DON’T DIG FOR VICTORY! and if you do this you won’t get the slugs, snails or caterpillars either, so it really is
