I would add to Steph’s extensive list that this growing method also has a ‘delayed benefit’ element to it, where the initial expense/ effort/ time is paid back many fold, as the ensuing months and years pass by. In other words, once the first big effort is made, growing keeps improving and for a minimum of subsequent work. I have experienced this during only the last three years on my plot.
Horsetail compostpope? Mine was well established but is now controllable after two years of light exclusion.
Some good discussions happening at present!
