No Dig
How to Make a No-Dig Garden? = Say NO to the exploitative consumerist system!
Indeed, if we want to be totally independent of today's wild neo-liberal capitalist system, then we need to connect with one another in self-sustaining communities,
produce with our own hands,
exchange useful knowledge & skills,
helping one another on a volunteer basis,
be apolitical...
Earth, people, plants & animals are not here to exploit them for selfish egocentric purposes.
True happiness & freedom are found in places where harmony of all life is a priority.
Why do workers, animals, plants or soil have to suffer so we can have food served on the table?
Let's turn a new page into our lives,
sustainable development is what we really need in these moments,
the evolution of consciousness at all possible levels!
So GO GREEN dear anarchists,
live with YOUR lungs full,
let's be responsible, let us stand firmly behind our actions
p.s. Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life.

+ Start Out No Dig, one method with cardboard and compost
by Charles Dowding
""My "maximum compost" method, adding a lot to make new beds, then very little in subsequent years. The cardboard also is just for this stage of smothering weeds - keep them in the dark and they expire! Then you don't need to lay any more cardboard, once there are no weeds.
You can use less compost and even since we filmed this video, supplies have tightened. Lay thick card on weeds then 2in/5cm compost asap in early spring, and wet the card if it's dry. Then use a trowel to 'cut' potato size holes in the card and a little into the weedy soil below, to pop in a seed potato. This can give some harvest by summer, while killing weeds too, but you must pull any weeds you see :)

If you do not have access to any compost, use old leaves, manure at least half-decomposed - or at limit the one month old you see in this video. Results in year one will be less brilliant than in subsequent years, but you will be clearing weeds easily as well as having a harvest.
Vegetables like potatoes, squash and zucchini grow well though cardboard and less-perfect compost. After they finish you could plant kale or leeks etc.""
p.s. These days, apart from the activities of organic planting under the sun, i joyfully hiked endless forests in search of the benefits of nature, especially the leaves of wild garlic, which is very desirable in this "virus" period...
Be well,
