Well he does his allotment organically. This dude seems the main name in no dig: https://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/ he's all over youtube, I'm just starting out.
Tonts-
We did this with our allotment for 5 years or so (until we have it up). We put in raised beds first, then went for a no dig approach for them. Lots of organic matter added every autumn, then let the worms do their thing.
It’s hard to say if it improved things but we had no problems growing stuff and didn’t miss the hard digging work that we had to do when we took the allotment over.

No dig, that's interesting, whats that?
Advice from a farmer is all well and good, but given how much they spray over their crops there's literally no comparison between a field and an allotment
