This season, I am experimenting with 'no dig' flower beds, and will be updating through the next year. I have created 4 beds using the 'no dig' method, after visiting the local Sussex Prairie Gardens in Henfield last year. I frame the beds with wooden frames, just to help the beds establish their shape. I then lay down newspaper or cardboard onto the areas where I want the beds, making sure they are very wet. This, with the compost, will stop growth of whatever is underneath (in my case, grass) creating a clear fresh bed. I then covered the areas with soil conditioner - a very good quality of compost made locally. That's it!
