No dig gardening

No dig gardening is an easier way to create beds, manage weeds and yield quality produce. It often results in larger vegetables and is a great option if you're time poor. 

It works by adding organic matter, such as garden compost, to the soil surface to help mimic the natural process of decomposition. Rather than being ‘dug in’ any plants, fungi and other organisms then break down the organic matter into the soil. This helps protect the soil structure and keep its ecosystem intact.

Our No Dig Compost has been specially formulated for new vegetable beds with a blend of composted fine bark and coir and a slow-release fertiliser which will last up to 12 weeks.

No dig gardening

If the idea of turning over a whole bed with a spade fills you with dread, no-dig gardening might just change your life. The principle is simple: pile quality compost on the surface, let the worms do the digging, and watch your soil improve year on year.

Championed by growers like Charles Dowding, it's now one of the most popular approaches for home gardeners across the UK, and can offer improved blooms and harvests and less back breaking work!

Our peat-free no dig compost is ideal for building up no-dig beds, and paired with a weed suppressing membrane underneath, you'll spend far less time battling unwanted plants and more time enjoying your garden.
