No Digging

[Kenneth Eames]

Depending on the amount of compost, you should have a very friable and fertile soil within a reasonable time. For instance, if you started tomorrow and were able to maintain a four inch mulch for three months, you should find that any plants put into the soil should develop very quickly. In my first posting I said keep a small gap around the plants. If the compost is not properly ripened and comes in contact with the plant, it would be liable to burn it. Ken neth Eames.
