Reply To: Lots of compost needed for no-dig gardening….

Thanks for the reply, Charles – I guess I was being a bit too ambitious in hoping to find a way to neutralise the seed content of the soil in time for the coming season. I’ve read about the idea of pasteurising soil in the summer months by spreading it out and covering it tightly with plastic so that it will heat up enough to kill the seeds without destroying all the goodness. I now have a question about green manure, but I’ll post it separately. Ken
