Confessions of a lazy gardener

Can't be bothered about watering or weeding ...

Experiments and investigations for 2020 ... Mulch or hoe...

There is a lot of advice in internet land about no dig gardening - sounds good to me. It is not how I was taught to garden, but it seems to make sense.  I always wondered why we carry away all the leaves in Autumn, rot them down, then bring them back as "good for the soil" leaf mold.  My first realisation is that using drag and drop weeding is untidy, so not the best technique for the traditional flower bed.  But a possibility for the veg patch / allotment. 

This year I will be sharing with you how I get on with being lazy!  Assuming I can find time to update this blog.​
