No dig diary, 25th May 2024
Having spent yesterday composting new beds, I decided today was the day that I should catch up with the greenhouses. There’s garlic in part of the bed in one and nothing in the other but potted strawberries, so neither was … Continue reading
No dig diary, 21st May 2024
I completed the last bit of outdoor weeding today, at long last. And in fact then completed the spreading of compost on the main veggie plot in the bed I had just weeded. I really should have got that done … Continue reading
No dig diary, 13th May 2024
Rain, rain and more rain was the forecast for today, but I was able to get out early doors and finish spreading compost on the new flower bed and dump a couple of barrow loads on a veggie bed that … Continue reading

Get it while it’s hot!
As we put a lot of material into the compost heap this weekend I thought I’d check the temperature. I really ought to find some convenient way to use at least some of that heat, but this far I don’t … Continue reading
Quick! Mow the grass!
The grass has been growing steadily this winter thanks to the relatively mild temperatures and it’s generally been way too wet to mow it, so the lawn and grass in the vegetable plot were starting to look like a jungle. … Continue reading
