no dig at home

after the kimbriki workshop, i was inspired to begin my patch-extension in my garden... and here is the beginning of the 1st three of the no-dig veggie patches...
here is no-dig patch 1 and 2... (above)
and no-dig patch 3... (below)

mcduck said, "it looks like a farm!!! is that cow poo over there?" (lower left hand corner of straw-patch) - no... actually it's dumped x-s potting mix which unfortunately looks like cow poo...

it has been quite $$ to build these no-dig patches, as hay / straw alone cost $50!

my seedlings have not been transferred onto these patches yet as they are still too young... awaiting to move in - watermelon, pumpkin, purple king beans, tomatoes, capsicum, sunflowers, etc etc... hopefully i have enough seedling mix/compost to sit them on...
