Reply To: No Dig in Raised Beds… Why No!?

Hi Cleanship!

Sorry for delay in replying… paying hospital a little visit again 😊

You are right about effort in getting it ready. My aim is to have it complete by autumn. I will take a picture and post it here; it’ll be good to hear what you think?

I’ll need to make a plan of what to grown.

I’ve got the first 18 boxes, so I will start setting them out and work out best position. I don’t think I will be moving them much, from year to year.

I’m planning to cut the bottom of each box and sink them into the ground about 2”. I want each box to have a link with the ground below. I will add some mycorrhizal fungi to establish bond between contents of box and surface earth below. Then I will leave them in position and use the no-dig method, or that is my hope.

Thanks again for your input, much appreciated!
