Throwing in the trowel

WHEN I first heard of ‘no-dig’ gardening, I felt a little unresolved, if not dubious about this seemingly laissez-faire approach.

How could one possibly sow and grow vegetables in heavy clay soil that has not been worked meticulously to provide the perfect tilth?

Well, I recommend a visit to the outstandingly pretty, yet practical, well-established, no dig gardens at Glebe House in Baltimore. It’s beautiful, dark, crumbly soil has definitely resolved all my no-digging doubts.
