@Tristananthony Ease of harvest and simple to reuse the compost afterwards too.

I have three bags of earlies growing in the greenhouse from a January planting. Two seed potatoes per bag. We’ve had no frosts here to speak of.

On the plot my seed potatoes will be just dibbed in the ground and organic matter will be added on top and around them as they grow. No dig potatoes are easily done. #NoDig #GrowYourOwn

Te pongo lo que hice yo hace justo un año en tu situación:

1. Labrado inicial para quitar hierbas y descompactar la tierra
2. Marca bancales de 1m de ancho y añade la máxima cantidad posible de estiércol/compost
3. Cubre con paja o leña triturada, sobretodo si vives en zonas de veranos muy cálidos
4. Instala riego por goteo
5. Planta lo que quieras

A partir de ahi: no pises el bancal, añade un dedo de compost cada año, y a disfrutar!

@LokeMani Congratulations. The garlic sprouting is worthy of a week of celebration. #garlic, #gardening, #nodig

Made these bean tipis (teepees?) from willow branches that were stripped by goats.

Today was compost day. The two main piles were turned and moved 90°. A third pile is from the two compost daleks to which compostable material had been added over winter.

There are two more compost daleks of home made maturing compost and three recycled water butt planters are ready for growing carrots. #Compost #Allotment #NoDig #Gardening #SolarPunk

@Frau_Mensch I’ve been using no dig practices for over a decade to grow fruit and veg on an allotment.

It works well. I find it is easier physically than digging. It promotes better soil health, reduces weed pressure, improves water infiltration and water holding capacity in the soil. #NoDig

@Frau_Mensch Geht es Dir explizit um Landwirtschaft?
#NoDig im Gartenbau mache ich seit über 10 Jahren und da gibt es für mich auch kein zurück. Die Methoden ändern sich für mich ein bisschen, aber die Grundsätze wie minimale Bodenbearbeitung, die Du in einem anderen Tröt beschrieben hast, bleiben.

@Broadfork Hello to the soil blocks. They are looking good. The blend is good and the moisture is good. This will be our second growing season using soil blocks. #compost, #soil, #nodig

This production line will put out several thousand seedlings of 200 varieties this year (alone 200+ tomato seedlings).
They go into ~600 m2 of veg garden that provides for my family, the family owning the land and some more.
We are self-sufficient with potatoes, onions, garlic, brassicas, herbs and many other vegs and salads.
It takes roughly 300 hours a year to tend the garden.
Everything is organic and #NoDig

February 14, 2026. Reporting from the southern Minnesota composting space. The compost was covered last fall to moderate the temperatures to get more days of biological action. This compost is frozen solid for our gardening friends in warmer places. The space is a three bin space with imaginary dividers. This works well for managing the materials with a pitchfork. #Zone4b, #compost, #nodig, #compostodon, #minnesota
