Easy organic garden any where - the NO DIG GARDEN

Step 9 Soak and rest

just like making bread, Soak the whole pile thoroughly and leave to settle for about three weeks, in this period the pile (just like a compost heap) creates heat and breaks down a bit, while settling.

Don't feel tempted to plant earlier, like i did and wonder why all the plants keel over.

See the picture for a summary of the layers.

hi there Speltbaker, thanks for that, hope it has inspired you to have a go - remember there are no hard and fast rules other than getting a good mix of carbon and nitrogen stuff, and letting it cool down before you plant - love to hear how you go - am currently working on my own web page and going to have a nodig garden page - love to put your photos and experiances on there...
