Its a great opportunity to discuss the positives!
And hopefully counter Christine’s remark that she had tried it for the first time this year (due to a bad back) but found it very expensive, needing between 2-3 inches of compost and having to buy compost in. She did, sideways, say that her yields were great, but the overall focus of what she said was that it was a very expensive way of gardening. Looking forward to hearing you on it, Charles.
‘Expensive’ is relative to ones financial situation, so difficult to measure. However, the return regards quality of plants grown appears well worth the initial outlay of time, effort and money. 2 y.o. manure at £40 for 110 big barrow loads certainly felt like a bargain to me and has made growing easier and more productive each year, so far. (This delivery was shared!)
Looking forward to the discussion and points raised both for and against tillage and ‘no-dig.’
