Oz Drdolittle's No-Dig garden

Created on Monday, 08 Sep 08

My brand new “No-Dig” garden.

Consists of:

  • 18 (200mmx100mmx2.4m) Redgum sleepers;
  • 12 Permapine posts (concreted 600mm down);
  • 36 Galvanised 150mm Coach bolts;
  • 8 bales of Lucerne/Rye;
  • 1×50kg bag of Blood and Bone;
  • 2 Cubic yards Mushroom Compost;
  • 3 Cubic yards Organic Compost;
  • 3 wheelbarrows of home compost;
  • 10kg Dynamic Lifter (pellet chicken poo);
  • 2kg Dolomite Lime;
  • 1kg Sulphate of Potash;
  • Eucalyptus Leaves/Bark mulch (lots!);
  • 14 rows of drip irrigation (about every 30cm along the long side), each with 8 drippers @ 2Litres an hour = 224Litres an hour water usage.

All up, it cost just over $1000 (for all materials), and took approx a week and a half to build. (That included digging 50m trench/pipework to install the water tap).

Growing area is around 12sq metres.

Now waiting on seedlings to germinate (in seed raising mix at the moment) so I can fill it up!!!
