In my latest book, soon to be out in December, 2020, I talk about a way to garden with less work, effort and harm to the planet and still reap bountiful flowers and fruits. No Dig Gardening is a way to build up your soil’s fertility without having to work so hard. The healthier the soil, the better your vegetables, flowers and herbs will grow. Plus, you won’t be stressing your back, legs and knees in the process. I talk all about creating No-Dig Beds and how to maintain them. I also discuss unusual No-Dig techniques such as straw bale gardening, Hugelkultur, and Keyhole Beds. Order Your No Dig Gardening Book here.
