No Dig Gardens
Clean, green and chemical free
No dig gardens are the quickest, easiest way to get home grown vegetables on your dinner table.
No dig gardening or a raised garden bed, consists of layering organic materials on top of the soil to create a nutrient rich environment for your plants, in this case, vegetables.

The garden literally composts the materials while feeding the plants.
