Charlie Nardozzi will speak online on May 18 at 7 pm on No-Dig Gardening and Raised beds. Here is what he says about the session:

Based on my latest book, I’ll talk about what is No-Dig Gardening and the benefits for you and your garden, including less work, healthier soil and plants and a way to sequester carbon. I’ll talk about different ways to build a no-dig bed, various planting techniques including polyculture, how to maintain and troubleshoot the bed for weeds and pests and ways to keep your soil protected and healthy year round. I’ll discuss raised beds and the various materials you can use to make raised beds for no-dig gardening. I’ll also expand on no-dig gardening by talking about variations such as straw bale gardening, hugelkultur and keyhole gardening.
