Mulching and minimal disturbance gardening

I mostly use no dig gardening, mulching once a year with my own compost. When a bed has become overgrown, then really it needs weeding properly, which means digging it over. When I run out of compost, I use fresh woodchip horse manure - I have an endless supply from my neighbour. I make sure that I plant into the healthy soil below. Conventional wisdom says that you should never put fresh woodchip/manure compost directly on the soil, but I've been doing it for years and it works! It doesn't take long for the fresh stuff to be broken down by the healthy soil microbes below. It has the advantage of being seed and egg free.
