Transform your garden quickly using no-dig methods, even during wet spring weather.
In short: Charles Dowding demonstrates a garden makeover at Homeacres, Somerset, in March 2023. By utilizing no-dig techniques, he shows how to prepare beds and plant crops efficiently, regardless of rain or wind, while planning for summer successions.
The process begins with a rough planting plan, followed by harvesting winter vegetables. To prepare the ground, Dowding spreads a thin layer of compost and rakes the beds level. This method is particularly effective for soil that has not received compost for a year or more.
The video, filmed on March 20th-21st, 2023, highlights the importance of protecting new plantings from wind and pests using fleece covers. Because current crops are expected to finish by mid-July, the strategy emphasizes having subsequent seeds and transplants ready for continuous rotation.
