If you are digging in raised beds, some people find a perennial spade helpful. This is a mid-length handle spade. Townsend, Emily (21 September 2018).

This is basically just a sheet composting system. Some of the variants I’ve seen are quite frankly ridiculously complicated. I’ve wondered if the proponents are just having a joke at the expense of the gullible. Still, each to their own. Trials and Evidence on No-Digging Systems This method of digging is suitable for cleaning the soil surface of any debris and non-persistent weeds. This is often the best option for working with irregularly-shaped beds or around existing plants.

No-Dig Growing Systems are Not New

Compost was applied equally at a rate of 30 tons per acre (approx 7.5Kg/M2) being spread on the surface of the undug plot and dug in with the other. The compost used on both plots came from the same heaps and was presumably identical in nutrients etc. Continue to dig the first trench, put the soil aside. The depth only needs to be the same as the spade blade If you are working close to the ground, level the soil after digging using a hand rake and feel as you go. If you are gardening standing, try a long-handled rake together with a right angle guide. Worms are encouraged by the surface mulch and draw this down into the lower levels opening up the soil and allowing easier water absorption and drainage. The initial dig is carried out by double digging. Here the topsoil is removed to either two spits (a spit is a spade depth) or to the level where the topsoil ends and the sub-soil begins.

It’s one of those internet forum topics that can get quite heated, to put it mildly. So, with some trepidation, my thoughts on the merits of the different systems. No-Dig Growing Systems are Not New I’m just a rookie but I’m of the opinion that, if you like digging, then go dig – digging definitely offers its own pleasure and satisfaction. But, if you don’t want to dig, then grow green manure and kill it by cutting it and covering it.Brunning, Sue (23 April 2021). "Excavating The Dig". Sloan Science & Film. Archived from the original on 23 April 2021 . Retrieved 23 April 2021. A full-length garden fork is helpful to turn over the soil with minimal bending. It requires less strain than a spade for this task. If you have a weak grip, arm or hand pain, or want to make digging more comfortable, add on handles can help. These keep your arm and hand in a natural position, avoiding your wrist bending and twisting. These can be combined with arm support cuffs.

Peggy, neglected by her husband Stuart, begins a romance with Rory, but he is soon called up by the Royal Air Force. Edith decides to donate the Sutton Hoo treasure to the British Museum, requesting that Brown be given recognition for his work. The film ends with Brown and his co-workers replacing earth over the ship to preserve it. You also mention mustard, but I don’t know if our plot has any clubroot (my wife hasn’t yet grown any brassicas in our two-year tenancy). I guess growing some mustard might be a good way to find out.

An average 250M2 (10 rods) allotment plot would require 12.5 cubic metres of finished compost each year. That’s a very large amount of compost. The system is usually combined with close-spaced planting and mulching to avoid bare ground. Most green manures that require digging in are not really compatible with a no-dig system but field beans can work well. When ready, cut the stem at ground level and compost the top leaving the roots in situe. Smith, Neil (29 January 2021). "Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan remake history in Netflix film The Dig".

The sub-soil is then broken up with a fork before manure or compost is laid in the trench above the forked-open sub-soil. This will percolate down into the sub-soil, encouraging worms and micro-flora to convert the sub-soil into top soil. The removed top soil is then replaced above it to dig the next trench.

Annually the soil is dug over to at least one spit deep in the autumn and left in large lumps. In the winter the freezing and thawing action breaks down these lumps into a finer consistency. In the spring this is further broken down with a cultivator and raked to create a fine tilth for seed sowing and planting. A group of us went to see Charles Dowding when he came to give a talk in York on the subject of No Dig. As is well documented Charles is one of the leading advocates of the system. His talk was very interesting & all our group enjoyed it. I will point out that I am now into my 5th year of No Dig on one of my allotments & I am hopefully starting to convert my second allotment to No Dig in the next couple of years. I initially started the process of conversion after meeting Charles about 6 years ago at Lindley Hall in London.Daniels, Nia (26 July 2019). "The Dig to film in the UK". The Knowledge.

Hi John – here’s a follow-up to my earlier comment (I’m still a rookie who is mostly interested in experimenting with compost-making, no-digging and green manuring – it’s my wife who has a lifetime’s experience in vegetable growing, and I leave that side of things entirely to her).
