I just started using using no dig last year, and so far I love it! I live in a dry desert area, where we rely on irrigation to water our crops. The wood chips hold the moisture so well and really keep down about 90 percent of the weeds! So much less work, and my plants love it, too!

How long in advance should I put down the cardboard/compost/mulch before the growing season? How long does the cardboard take to decompose? We still have snow covered grounds here and I still have to take a lawn mower to the ground before I can add the cardboard. So I'm wondering if I will have time this year or if I have to wait until next year?

No dig is superb. It’s all about good compost. I’ve a few videos on my channel showing some of my no dig beds and how and what I compost. Usually I hot compost but not always.

Fantastic video, wonderful information. I use BTE, chop n drop, square foot, and poly-culture.

I like this an do not till or dig much. What is your system of not to dig a carrot bed? My experience is that carrot seed needs very fine soil to germinate = who do you prep the soil?

I started using the no dig method this Winter, it was too time consuming trying to build my raised beds the “traditional” way especially with all of the overgrown weeds that I inherited on my plot. I use layers of cardboard, leaves, manure, garden compost and regular compost

Love the video and the information that you have given. I am do a no dig garden this year for the first time. I have heard many good things about it and watch a couple of youtube vidoes on it. From what I have seen it makes a lot of sense to do it this way. Hoping for a great organic harvest in the fall.
