Nick The Gardener.

Hi welcome to our channel, we have had our allotment for 18 months and have been no dig for a year. Our goal is to create as healthy soil as possible to get the maximum nutrition from our food using organic and regenerative methods. I don't use any sprays for insects I'd rather nature find a balance and I am not buying in any organic compost or fertilizer, as I am making my own. The soil food web can supply everything your plants need all you have to do is feed the microbes and not Dig! 👍🏻🤠💪💗🪱

    It's good to escape. Town is okay but sometimes you need breathing space. Glad you had a walk in the shade. Too hot otherwise for the dogs. Our Max keeps on finding a shady space at the allotment and lies on my plants lol. Nice countryside Nick 👍👍
