How a no-dig garden thrives in late autumn without the threat of frost
In short: Explore the Homeacres garden in late October to see how no-dig methods maintain productivity as the season turns. This tour demonstrates essential end-of-year tasks, including soil mulching and preparing beds for winter crops like garlic, even during unusually mild weather.
Filmed on October 27, 2022, in southwest England, this tour highlights the resilience of a no-dig garden during an exceptionally warm autumn. With average temperatures reaching 18C during the day and 8C at night, the garden remained productive and full well into the season.
The video showcases practical techniques for soil health, specifically the application of an annual compost mulch around existing plants and in preparation for new plantings. It also provides a look at the storage of late-season harvests, such as tomatoes, onions, and garlic, while illustrating the integration of sustainable practices like compost management.
