No dig Potato Gardening: Expert Tips from Charles Dowding

See the whole process from sowing to 'earthing up' to harvest, by pulling not digging. Potato plants easily root into undisturbed, no dig soil, while developing potatoes need soft, surface material to grow in. It's often assumed that potatoes just won't grow in soil that has not been thoroughly loosened, but this video shows the opposite. Filmed at Homeacres April to July 2018 by Josh Rogers, in a spring that started cool and wet, then turned hot and dry after 3rd May. South West England zone 8 climate, last frost mid May. For updates on how the no rotation worked in 2019, see this link charlesdowding.co.uk/three-strip-trial-2014-2018/ My garden is no dig and you see how few weeds are growing. We spend most of our time planting and picking, about two hours/week on weeding a quarter acre/1000m2. For more on the simplicity of no dig, see    • No Dig: feed the soil not the plants ...  .
