Expanding the No-Dig Garden!
In this video, I’m extending our no-dig kitchen garden into a previously unused section of the field — a naturally sloped area right next to the original garden. I’ll walk you through how I’m preparing the space using cardboard and woodchip, and share the next steps before the compost delivery arrives and the new beds can be built.
If you’ve ever wondered how to start a no-dig garden on a slope, how to deal with uneven terrain, or whether woodchips can be used for footpaths, I’ll talk you through everything I’m doing here in real-time. This is very much a work-in-progress, and I’m so excited to share it with you as it develops through the season.
