It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
I'm too much of a residual Puritan to believe that you could have reward without sweat; all this no-dig, forest gardening and permaculture lazy gardening just has to be nothing more than wishful thinking.But I ought to put it to the test to see if my cynicism is justified. I could run two plots alongside one another (conventional v. permaculture). Maybe I should read up - just for the science.
Oh yeah, also found a bit more of the bike that I've been digging out of the plot for the last four years - got a stem and handle bars now!
