The winter no-dig garden
Over the Easter weekend I’ve renewed my no-dig garden. I pulled out the old and not very productive rockmelon and watermelon vines and snake beans, re-did the fence so it sags less (and is less easily climbed by marauding possums), and added more lucerne and more sugar can mulch.
All the rain has made it a perfect time to plant for winter. I’ve just put in some cauliflower and Grosse Lisse tomato seedlings, and a few unusual salad greens that I learned about at a tropical vegies workshop a few weeks ago: mitsuba, Brazilian spinach, and mustard greens. The capsicums and basil are left over from summer and are stilll producing now.

Hi
I’m about to construct a “no dig” garden that is both Possum and brush turkey proof. I want to do something like yours but trying to work out the best dimensions for accessing the plants over the fence. What height is your fence? Do you just lean over or do you have to peel back the chook wire to pick veges or tend plants?
Appreciate any suggestions..
cheers

Hi, do you know where can I get the mitsuba?
Thank you
