How to Double Dig To Reduce Soil Compaction, Double Digging

How to Double Dig, Double Digging A Planting Bed This is one of those jobs that no one actually enjoys doing but the benefits just speak for themselves. Tools required; Spade, Fork, Fresh compost, Wheelbarrow if available First off. Start by applying a decent layer, a few inches (10-12cm) deep, of fresh compost or rotted manure over the whole surface of your intended growing site/plot and roughly level it. Starting at one end of the ploy/site; Remove a volume of the soil to create a channel that is one spades depth and one spade wide. Place the excavated soil into a wheelbarrow if you have one or onto the side of the plot. Mentally picture that you have now dug out a trench/trough in the ground. Using a fork, lightly fork over the base of the trench. Switching back to the spade, dig out another volume of soil that is of equivalent dimensions to the first trench. This time, instead of placing the soil into a wheelbarrow, you place the soil into the first trench that you dug. Once again, lightly fork over the base of the newly dug trench. Complete this process of digging out the soil and using it to fill the trench that is in front of you, each time lightly forking over the base of the freshly dug trench. Repeat this process until you reach the very end of the plot. It is at the finishing end that you will find you have an empty trench. It is into this empty, finishing end, trench that you now place the soil that was first dug out and placed into the wheelbarrow or side of plot.
