Why Are You Digging??? Let’s talk about no dig.

Disclaimer- this is just my takes, based on MY EXPERIENCE. I’ve moved around a lot and gardened in many different places. Sheet mulching is fantastic if you can be somewhere long term and have years to wait while perennial weeds die under layers of mulch you’ve managed to source; but if you don’t know how long you’re going to be somewhere, light digging can allow for a shortcut. Moving forward I plan to keep these beds in a no-dig state, mulching each year with compost. But I simply don’t have the necessary amounts of compost to do that this year.
