My garden is no dig since 2013. You can see in this video, how the surface is soft and spongy and with few weeds. We spend very little time weeding!
We are running a book offer of my No Dig hardback about mulching to clear weeds and building soil fertility, together with mt 2022 Calendar of best sowing dates, both signed by me https://charlesdowding.co.uk/product/double-pack-no-dig-gardening-course-book-1-and-2022-gardening-calendar-both-signed/
