The result in summer 2016, of using mulches to transform 3/4 acre (0.3ha), from weeds and grass to intensively cropped vegetables for market on 1/4 acre, using organic methods, no synthetic chemicals. Plus I show you the fruit trees, flowers, compost heaps, undercover spaces and dig/no dig trials.

In South West England, 51N temperate oceanic climate, "zone 8" but summers are 5 or 6.

For a concise written summary of this approach, see my Diary
http://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/produ... with strategies for no dig success, timings of associated sowings, hoeing and mulching, and beautiful photos of this garden.

My online course about no dig explains the process in depth. It includes 20 videos you will not find elsewhere: https://charlesdowding.co.uk/product/...
