So beautiful!

Are you interested in gardening? Have you tried the no-dig method? I am preparing a garden this year and have enjoyed watching his videos. He makes a lot of sense and I like his style. What are some of your favorite gardening tips and tricks? I'd love to hear!

I have heard of him, however having a fairly well established veg plot that costs far less than buying compost to get depth to plant various vegetables.
I understand the reasoning behind it, however I’ve not had a problem with just growing naturally and using a level of crop rotation and feeding throughout the growing season, then adding a layer of manure over the non growing season which in turn feeds the soil.

@RebelinSteel That seems simple and straightforward. Do you lay cardboard down and then lay the manure, or just put the manure straight on the ground? Also, I've heard of making the ground too "hot" with feeding, how do you apply it during the growing season?
