First sowings and prepping beds for spring planting

Spring is almost here, after a mild winter. Now is good to propagate first sowings under cover, and prepare ground so it's ready for spring. I show you ideas for being ready, and how easy it is with no dig. It's now just four weeks before we shall be popping the first transplants in the ground. Also at the equinox I sow carrots and plant first early potatoes. Homeacres is 1600 m² of no dig beds and paths, growing food for sale locally within 4 miles/7 km.
