The Small No Dig Garden: A Polyculture for Year Long Food and Herbs

Here is a simple no dig garden filmed in August that produces a modest amount of food for most of the year plus culinary herbs and apples and gooseberries. There are plenty of flowers mixed in with the veg, so much so that there are very few pests. The garden has woodchip paths that help reduce slug traffic (although I do collect slugs on rainy evenings) and every bed is mulched with home made compost and some with well rotted woodchip. All the veg and flowers are mixed together. I rarely plant in rows, preferring blocks or better, mixed polycultures. The garden is north facing and is under mature trees, so the planting has to take account of shade and nutrient loss to the trees. Despite all of this, I eat from the garden every day in spring, summer and autumn. Maddy Harland, editor and co-founder of Permaculture magazine Video edited by T H Venner
