As the No-Dig bed will not have been cultivated by Double Digging during the winter we need to replenish the nutrients so in the Spring we can use our home made compost or well rotted manure or even spent mushroom compost.
No-Dig growing allows you to make the best use of your compost and it puts the roots of your plants into a great growing medium with out the winter rains having washed any of the available nutrients away allowing them the best possible access to all the available feed
