Evolution of a Garden
April 2019
In June 2014, I was completing my apprenticeship in herbal medicine and I wanted to create a place to grow all my herbs. I "negotiated" with my husband and acquired a bare paddock. Over the winter of 2014 I started the conversion process using a no dig method.

Converting a paddock into my herb garden using "no dig" methods. This involved laying down lots of cardboard to suppress the grass and then covering the cardboard with lots of layers of compost, leaves, peastraw and any other organic matter I could find.
