No Dig does not mean no hoe so when you hoe you allow the soil to breath
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

I'm convinced by the arguments, but I'm surprised you can all find/create enough material to mulch your whole plot every year. I guess it's easier if you're on a site where you get manure/ council compost etc delivered.

It isn`t that hard to get compost material, I don`t use grass or weeds but use 1/3 cardboard shreds, courgette plants, cabbage bits etc It all adds up and we peel and eat a lot of veg in our house. I don`t compost allium parts or potato roots but all my potato tops went in, they were blight free. Add the bean plants, comfrey, old marigolds etc and you soon get there
