Thorpist Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 My advice is don't bother digging. Remove brambles and docks then add cardboard putting as much compost as you can get on top . Cover this with plastic sheeting the lack of light will severely knock bag the weeds and worms will drag down the compost. Check in about 5 months it should be nearly ready planting. Have a look at Charles Dowdings no dig web pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aribanne Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have the Dowding book, but for an allotmentbif this size, I'd need more compost that it's possible to make or buy. It's OK for small areas IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
