Late Autumn is the best time of year to convert to a no-dig gardening system. The principle is simple; leave the ground as undisturbed as possible and you’ll end up with fewer pests, healthier plants and a healthy vibrant soil community. Follow the link No-dig-gardening and learn how to get started.
