Overview

Have you ever felt that growing vegetables at home is just too difficult? The physical demands of gardening, battling with pests, lack of time, an immense learning curve, and often disappointing yields were all barriers to dipping my toe into growing vegetables, until I found the no-dig method of gardening that obliterated all these reasons. I've been a no-dig gardener in Kotagiri for two years and we've since enjoyed bountiful, effortless harvests approaching self-sufficiency. 

No-dig gardening is a method of growing plants, usually vegetables, with the least disturbance to the soil, by mulching the ground and growing directly in beds of compost. The method has been championed by Charles Dowding in the UK. No-dig allows all types of soil to develop its own healthy ecosystem and for us to grow nutritious food in balance with nature, without the need for artificial pesticides or fertilisers. We owe it to ourselves to feed our minds and bodies with good things. You are what you consume! 

No-dig is also easy on the back as you don't have to dig!

Every participant will receive a goodie bag with seeds, a nicely designed PDF with instructions from Gayatri to make your own no-dig patch at home along with useful resources to refer to.
