Just lovely! And certainly a skillset needed in uncertain times. My oldest grandson learned how to do no dig gardening while he was in Norway. He created a wonderful garden here on our property.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! ❤️

I read Norway and thought cold. I live in AK, also cold. So no dig gardening works well in a cold environment? Could you direct me to a good book or other resource to learn more? 🙏

Yes Norway has long cold winters but very productive individual farms. We are in Georgia so the object of no dig is to preserve the already natural composition of the soil. You need cardboard and compost. We had a lot of cardboard from another project and he found a great source for compost at a horse stable. I like the idea of raised gardens too. We have lots of deer and rabbits who think we planted the garden for them.

Here is a Youtube that explains the no dig process
