No Dig Abundance in 25m² | Succession Planting, Watering & Fertility in a Small No Dig Garden

Over the past eight weeks, this tiny 25m² garden has produced more than 50 kg (110 lb) of veg—with another 50 kg likely before winter! In this video, I show how no dig, careful succession planting, and simple hand watering have made it possible, even during a dry and sunny summer. Since late May, the garden has been fully planted for summer, and growth is now incredibly rapid—so long as we can give the plants enough water. In this video, I walk you around my 25 m² no dig garden and explain what's changed since the last update on 30th May: 👉 Watch the previous video here -    • Small No Dig Garden – Big May Harvests Aft...   In those eight weeks, we've enjoyed over 50 kg (110 lb) of kitchen-ready vegetables—and there's likely just as much to come before winter. No dig is key to maintaining this level of output. Watering is crucial right now, and I share how I manage it with simple hand watering and a magnetic water device (linked below). Staying in tune with your local weather is key to knowing what your plants need. Here's my rainfall log for the year so far: March: 5 mm April: 17 mm May: 20 mm June: 40 mm July: 49 mm (That’s just one-third of our normal rainfall here in Somerset.) The best bit about 2025 weather has been and still is a massive increase in sunshine and warmth. I explain how I water in these bright and dry conditions. I also cover: Succession planting in a small space What crops have gone in and come out since late May Harvests of courgettes, strawberries, broad beans, peas, beetroot, tomatoes, French beans, and basil Seed-saving tips (flowers and peas) Autumn planning: sowing spinach under tomatoes How no dig keeps weeds down and soil life thriving 🧲 The magnetic water device I use is from Abimax and this is an affiliate link, use NODIG at checkout for 10% off:: 👉 https://www.abimax.com/pages/garden?r... 00:00 Introduction - the weather 01:48 Fewer rules with no dig! 02:06 Courgettes 02:47 Strawberries, Florence variety - covering crowns with compost 04:13 Peas cleared, cucumbers planted - Tanja variety 05:32 Broad beans cleared, carrots sowed - Berlicum variety, protection soon against pests 06:39 Beetroot Robuschka, which followed broad beans 07:24 Succession planting 07:45 Tomatoes transplanted 27th April - Rose Crush and Crimson Crush 08:34 Removing lower leaves and pruning trusses 10:01 French beans sown direct, which followed lettuce 11:03 Watering - which veg and at which stage 11:43 Flowers - marigolds, zinnias, malope - keeping seeds 12:37 Crimson Crush tomatoes - picking at breaking stage 12:59 More tomatoes, planted later 13:23 Basil, which followed sweet peas - saving pea seed 13:59 Tulsi basil, growing between tomatoes 14:28 Tayberry - watering 15:00 Chillies, and a bay bush 15:30 More about the weather - little rain, much sunshine 16:02 Watering by hand - magnetic device on hose 16:21 Plans for planting spinach between tomatoes 17:05 Weeds - pick small! I use no feeds or fertilisers because soil life is highly active, interacting with plant roots to provide their needs for nutrients and moisture.
