12 April 2014 - The Old Post Cottage - Where to start ...

By Jennifer Metcalfe


Where do I start?

At Christmas my brother gave me the book, “Organic Gardening - the natural no-dig way” by Charles Dowding. What a thought - lots of lovely vegetables with no digging.

I have always grown vegetables but here at Lillingstone Lovell it is really hard work due to the clay soil – not to mention a body which is not getting younger! So first I am planning my raised vegetable garden and making it a no dig zone. Today I have spent several hours in the garden with a tape measure and sticks trying to plan it out. This was followed by more hours on the internet looking at tips on, ‘How to make raised vegetable beds’ and admiring everyone else’s work.  The problem is the more your read the more ideas you get and then you don’t know what to do. 

Tomorrow I will decide.
