About the No-Dig Method

The no-dig method is a way of growing that avoids turning or digging the soil. Instead, compost and organic matter are layered over cardboard added to the surface, allowing soil life to do the work naturally.

This approach helps preserve soil structure, supports beneficial organisms, and reduces weed pressure over time.
