Year 11 of trialling growth in these two beds, side-by-side. Both beds grow the same plants and seeds and they receive the same amount of compost once a year in December.

The only difference is that I dig the left-hand bed, every December. The compost goes into the 20 cm/8 inch trenches. I dig those as I move along with the spade.

In 2022 the dig bed gave 97 kg and the no dig bed 111 kg of harvests. This year again, growth so far on the no dig bed looks stronger, see what you think.
