Gardening with nature
Creating beds without digging
With the no-dig method, you do not dig up the soil. This preserves the natural soil structure and promotes soil life.
What is No-Dig?
Gardeners do not dig up the soil. New beds are created with the help of sheet mulching. This involves layering different organic materials that compost directly on the bed. This approach originates from regenerative agriculture and maintains and promotes soil fertility and soil life.
Advantages
- Promotion and activation of soil life
- Improvement of the soil structure and protection of the soil structure
- Suppression of weeds by piling up organic material
- Higher yields
- Less physical work and time
Soil-friendly gardening
The soil is home to numerous living organisms - the edaphon. Up to 10 billion organisms can live in one liter of soil. They break down and crush organic material. This creates humus and a stable soil structure. When gardening, it is important to pay attention to soil life in order to maintain soil functions.
Why not dig it up?
Digging destroys the natural soil stratification. Soil life is turned upside down. This destroys the natural, finely tuned soil structure and inhibits biological activity. No-Dig is a soil-friendly alternative that preserves and promotes the natural function of the soil.
