jok 3,035 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Now then sir. I also have a rotovator. Muckle great thing. Probably originally for field work. Take my heed. Hand digging is a real need to get down to the real depths of where the goodness, and the drainage is. Get digging. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Oh sorry. It might be at that. It's American and quite old so difficult to read the plate. I'll have a look later and let you know. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 4,123 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Im planning on having a go at this no dig lark. Is it as simple as putting some cardboard down and then covering with 4inch of compost/manure? Is anyone already doing 'no dig'? If so how is it working out. I cant believe it will kill all the weeds we have here but guna give it a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
