Why you do not need endless compost to grow a productive, healthy garden
In short: Minimal Disturbance Gardening offers a pragmatic path to self-sufficiency that balances food output with soil health. This approach addresses the common struggle of sourcing or creating enough compost by leveraging natural resources to build fertility.
Minimal Disturbance Gardening (MDG) is designed for gardeners who want to maintain high productivity without the constant pressure of compost management. It treats garden health and food yield as equally important goals.
The method is particularly useful for those on a self-sufficiency journey, as it provides a suite of alternatives for soil fertility that do not rely on expensive or labor-intensive compost piles.
