did no dig this winter in the garden for the first time, mulched with well rotted bark chippings that were under a bird roost so lots of guano, barley maltings from crate brewery, leaf mulch from victoria park and horse manure from lee bridge road stables, plus homemade garden compost from the compost heap, a layer of each over the whole garden, probably 50+ rubble sacks full in total
in autumn i hope to green manure with rye and alfalfa they'll do the digging for me as they root well and break the soil up, that plus the few hundred worms i add to the soil from the compost heap each year should allow the soil to become more healthy, feed your soil and encourage all the bacteria enzymes and fungi to do their thing will allow plants to get more out of the broken down soil
