No Dig/No Till Garden Beds with Mushroom Compost!
Work that’s WORTH IT!
We enjoy our no dig/no till gardens! It’s a raised bed without building a raised bed.
Over time, it pays you back! Top your beds and you’re ready for the next year. There is no tilling involved, allowing all the microbial goodness to stay in the soil, unexposed to light.
Follow These Steps:
1) Map out your desired bed locations and dimensions.
2) Layout cardboard over the garden plot:
—-We got our cardboard from our local recycle center.
—-Remove tape and other items that won’t disintegrate.
3)Apply a generous amount of compost to the beds:
—-I recommend, at least 6 inches thick.
4)Form out or smooth out your beds:
—-Ours were roughly 18 feet long by 2 foot wide
5)Use wood chips for the walking paths:
—-Our local recycle center has free wood chips available.
—-If you’re in the right areas, use this site, www.getchipdrop.com

Nice intro editing and with the kids!
Do you till your raised beds that are next to your 'no-dig' beds?
Looks so good!
