Hi John – here’s a follow-up to my earlier comment (I’m still a rookie who is mostly interested in experimenting with compost-making, no-digging and green manuring – it’s my wife who has a lifetime’s experience in vegetable growing, and I leave that side of things entirely to her). Next on the list is a song that is sure to get your kids moving – “Dig Dig Dig for Your Dinner” by Gene Kelly. This catchy tune is all about the hard work that goes into getting a meal, from planting the seeds to harvesting the crops. Next on the list is “Digging Up the Corpses” by DevilDriver. This song is from their self-titled album and was released in 2003. There are plenty of times when hand tools are useful for digging. You can use hand trowels and hand forks to:Continue to dig the first trench, put the soil aside. The depth only needs to be the same as the spade blade

A traditional method of digging soil deeply and incorporating well-rotted manure or garden compost, especially on vegetable plots. It can be beneficial when creating new beds or to increase the depth of fertile soil. double digging over other methods of soil cultivation where the soil is compacted, where ground has not been previously cultivated, where demanding long-term plants such as asparagus are planned or when making raised beds. All bare ground is suitable for double digging. You also mention mustard, but I don’t know if our plot has any clubroot (my wife hasn’t yet grown any brassicas in our two-year tenancy).

Hmmm? The tap does not seem to be working for me on the touch pad. Good graphics and sounds. Just not able to play the game. I used arrow keys but only able to dig straight down.

Interestingly the ladies who actually conducted the trial and who both held a BSc. (Hort.) commented that they felt additional weeding on the no-dig plot outweighed the labour saving benefit of not digging. If you are working close to the ground, level the soil after digging using a hand rake and feel as you go. If you are gardening standing, try a long-handled rake together with a right angle guide.

First of all, no-digging is not a new idea. Parisian market gardeners in the 19th Century used a no-dig method, continually adding huge amounts of rotted horse manure to their plots. Age 3-5 Dig Dig Digging is ideal for children fascinated by vehicles and machines. Written in rhyme with a strong rhythm, it is a fun read aloud and great for joining in. The illustrations are bright and bold with lots to talk about.

The soil can then be transferred from the lower spit of the second trench to the base of the first trench, and from the upper spit of the third trench to the top of the first. This ensures that the topsoil and subsoil remain separate. The soil structure is maintained and the micro-flora especially symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi are minimally disturbed Hi John thanks for the info on no-dig. On our allotments we have both diggers and no diggers and the only real difference between the systems is that generally the no diggers do far less weeding, the output of produce is roughly the same.
