Garden prep

RE: Garden prep
I'm a little behind with my allotment this year, been very busy with work, looking forward to getting stuck in now though, for anyone wishing to grow their own I would highly recommend a no dig system such as recommended by Charles Dowding.
http://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/
I've been using a no dig system for 4 years now and its a lot less effort and time for me, my biggest problem is finding ways of storing all my produce.
If you can get your hands on a spring copy of the permaculture magazine there are a couple of cracking articles one by Charles on hot beds and another one on using wood chip mulch in a no dig garden a la Paul Gautschi, he's a bit too much of a bible basher for me. but the system works, I use this system for my soft fruits, I would like do more of it, but I don't have access to much in the way of wood chip.
