Create a no dig raised bed, compost on weeds, with tips on planting + see the growth
I show how to prepare and assemble a wooden frame, lay it on weedy ground without any digging, then fill with compost, firm and plant straightaway. I made the bed in August 2016, and the stages of filling and planting were also filmed by BBCtv for Gardeners World, screened 21/04/2017.

A whole year of worms eating and pooping created eight sacks of 10mm-sieved compost, which grows amazing plants as you can see from the lettuce in my last photo, in the small cells of a CD 60 tray - one litre will fill 30 of those cells. Compost is the ultimate for improving soil quickly, there’s a range of possibilities, including from wood and tree leaves and it’s such a versatile aspect of gardening. The second photo has a bed with new garden compost, and the path has wood one year old, sieve

Some soil is useful at the bottom when you might have cavities to fill and hollows in the ground, just to make it level.🌱 Cardboard is not obligatory! The main time I recommend it is when you have a lot of weeds to smother, because it slows down weed regrowth, plus you then need a lesser depth of compost.

It’s my favourite time with the garden so full and not many more plantings to make except for under cover in October. Also garlic and broad beans! The beauty of everything right now blows me away and it’s such a joy to see such healthy plants. New plantings on the left are spinach, and one in the middle close to camera is kohlrabi transplanted just a month ago, for harvest in late October and November.
