NO-DIG BEDS — HOW ARE THEY MADE?
No-Dig Beds are super simple to make. They're made of just 2 materials:
A Thin Layer of Recycled Cardboard
Cardboard is used to stop sunlight from reaching weeds under the compost. It breaks down in just a few weeks while letting seeds planted on top grow their roots down.
3-4 Inches of Locally Sourced Peat-Free Compost
Premium, nutrient-rich compost that provides everything plants need to thrive. No digging required — the worms do all the work for you.
Result: Healthier soil, no weeding, and higher yields. The land is improved every year.
NO EXCAVATION
No topsoil stripping
