Thanks for this – this is a market garden so I would like to get as much planted as possible this year. I am looking to sow, plant and harvest intensively and hope to get yields like those above.

I do have access to horse manure which I am collecting but I will have to wait a year till it rots – maybe I could do half and wait for the horse manure to do the other half?

Is it a mistake to do the 320 sq m no dig? I am including paths as well but I am not doing raised beds as I would need too much wood and as you say, wood rots and harbours slugs!
