been busy these last couple of week top dressing pretty much the whole garden with a layer of leaf mould ( found an excellent source of well composted leaves in a local park ) , a layer of bark / wood chippings thats been sitting under a huge bird roost so it's coated in guano, and am currently finishing it all off with a layer of spent barley maltings from crate brewery, rucksack by rucksack full, it's been an effort but the garden looks good for it if a little barren time to start hitting the seed catalogues for this summers colour and vegetables
a good couple of inches all over flower, veg and wild beds
thought i'd give no till a go for a year or two and see how the plants differ, will grab a load of rye to plant as a green manure and that will hopefully root deep into the soil break things up a bit and then add some nutes when i chop, not sure if i'm a bit late on that front though, may chuck a bunch in just see how they go
