No Dig growing is all about working with nature, not against it.
It involves using a cardboard layer on top of the ground, covered in compost to suppress weeds while keeping the microbial allies in the soil alive. By planting seeds and seedlings directly into this rich compost, you create the least amount of soil damage.
The best part? It requires less weeding and less watering, giving you more time to enjoy the creative side of growing your own garden.
