Cardboard is kraft paper and does not contain chemicals except possibly kaolin (a natural aluminum silicate) which is a stabilizing agent and improves the surface for appearance and printing. Kraft paper is not bleached so no residual bleaching chemicals are present. Corrugated cardboard is multilayered with corrugated layer in between. These layers and the surface of the corrugations significantly increase the surface area for the activity of microorganisms. I put my cardboard boxes out back and let the rain and sun work on them. I mix them with other waste like leaves, pine straw and small wood chips from a chipper I bought this year. I run a mower over this and it shreds the cardboard and mixes it with the other material and I have more free stuff for raised beds and containers. Another great video. Keep it up. Quarantined folks have plenty of time to garden.
It is,we just need to recommend and share it. trust me it help me a lot and so I recommend it to everyone here in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I just explain what people don't understand as I too have my knowledge of agriculture
I hope you keep this series going. I started following this channel years ago when I first got into gardening, and videos like this breathe new life to this channel; I’m hooked!
WOW! You have a twin, I seen this several times and will try a "No dig" in the spring but at ground level. My first try at raised bed ment lots and often watering. Great job Necoil for you have quickly became my favorite you tube sales person who is a very gifted talker. Backer Creek Seeds are a great place to deal with. Your husband is very skilled with his video skills. Really love your video you just release late September showing your beautiful gardens and cooking skills. But mostly show that the best foods comes fresh from the garden and the work is rewarding. Thanks you both, What a team.
I’ve started gardening more this year myself. I was able to use a school greenhouse to start plants last december! Just planted my tomatoes and peppers outside yesterday. There’s already tomatoes growing now and pepper flowers. Can’t wait for later this summer!
@@TrueFoodTV I think lasagna beds are the best way to describe the bed starter process. Starting the new beds with the layers grass/paper/compost. And then, if possible, tarp them. The lasagna starter process is a part of the No-Dig approach as that can be considered a management style / maintenance approach. Because of the No-Dig approach fewer weeds appear as the soil is not damaged as you explained. Unless you have really bad compost..
I do tilling once in two years, and I don't add manure to the soil, I just use the heavy clay soil from river near me and the crops grow better and better!
Very informative! Just what I need it to know. I was trying to fugue out how not to spend $300. For a wooden box. You’re a beautiful soul! I been platting veggie for the last 5 years. Hello from East LA.
Nicole, I love your channel. I have loved gardening since I was a preteen. No dig gardening is a lot easier and does provide superior results from my research. And you're the prettiest flower in the garden.
Thank you! I have a small yard and started a raised bed which cut into my budget but when I discovered Charles's Dowding YT channel I was sold! I recommend his channel when it comes to No Dig gardening.
I put landscape fabric on my tomato bed last year to cut down on the fungus infection problem I was having. After I planted my tomato's, I put a thick layer of pine bark over the fabric. I had some fungus last year but it was the air born type, not the soil born fungus I had the year before. Landscape fabric works.
I just can't stop watching your videos. I hope videos like these motivate people to grow more plants and ultimately transform the way we are living now.
Mushroom Compost is some of the best stuff to use. I love it and your so fortunate to live so close to this resource. I have had great success with mushroom compost and use it each year.
Yet another amazing episode! I’m definitely doing cardboard next year. What a great idea since I don’t rototill anymore. Your garden looks great. Now go back and close the gate! With you’re dramatic ending. Love it.
You said you used 4-5 inches compost on top of your cardboard and original soil. In the past I’ve read that you should not use compost straight, but mix it 50/50 with “dirt” :) ... any comments Nicole? Thank you!
Gardening the yard: it's all I do now, raised beds and tilling wastes so much time and space. There is a Ruth Stout method similar to this that uses hay for the dual purposes of mulch and compost: works similarly to hugelkultur by using plants decomposing to feed plants and prevent tilling. Love your videos, been a fan for years! Good work to all of you.
I love the way your videos are not explaining only the basic knowledge, but everytime you are digging a little deeper (haha ok not in this episode ;)). But seriously I learn something everytime and it's great!! Can't wait to start myself!
Yet another amazing video full of educational information and such happinesses just to be outside gardening. Thank you for everything you are doing to keep us informed and your family safe so we can keep getting your amazing videos
was given a wormery last year. the tea i used from it seem to make my toms and chillies grow soooo much. plus wood ash and grass water. This year i emptied out the castings.(was llllloads) and i mixed it with git sand and coco coir to use to start my seeds off. everything is gorwing really healthy looking. im just dying to get past this next week which have zero degrees at night. gardening really is a thing to test my patients
My grass is tough, so I turn it over when I start and cover it with cardboard, then I put bricks on top of the cardboard to hold it in place. For the next month I turn the soil over once a week.
Thank you for the simple easy to follow information, looking forward to having a go at this method and saving myself an awful lot of backache. Loved the video.
GREAT, GREAT VIDEO!!!! I have been doing it for about 6 years, i just add some compost on top in the late Fall!! Live in Central Ohio, had very tuff clay soil when i started. tuff to even drive a steel post into it when i first started but now its like a hot knife in butter!!!! I argue with MYSELF too!!! BUT, im not as easy on ME as YOU are on YOU!!! lol, WONDEFUL VIDEO!!!!!
Well done!!... This is exactly what I learned to do....Except when we bought this land, I had no soil, at all... it was DG ... hard packed ... you could break a hoe or shovel on it ..... So I created raised beds!! ... I use a lot of straw ... let it rot over Winter and plant it with veggie plants in Spring!!
I've been considering raised beds for a long time. For years slugs have taken over our garden and they destroy everything. This method might be easier though. I hope you and your family are staying safe.
Like you Nicole..I often have meetings with myself... though in most case we reach a unanimous agreement... A couple of weeks ago I was on the way to have a meeting with myself... had to cancel it. I was running late.
I have more access to red oak leaves, and I might try them vs. cardboard. Is there any down side to using matted leaves? I've been doing the hugelkultur beds, but OMG by hand that's lots of work, so smothering and topping with compost looks much better.
Well you are the first channel that I have paid for membership even though it's not much but this means a lot to me. Can't wait for your topical planting series. (if that's possible)
@@TrueFoodTV Well I live in topical country (Bangkok Thailand)I have start with the wrong choice like carrot and beet (which obviously not ideal on my climate) I also tried to grow some tomatoes, it grew and died without fruit last year...so this year I change my plan to local plants first like chinese kale which seems promising. I would say tomatoes would be something I want to achieve.
@@TrueFoodTV Well, it depends what you want to achieve. I just want to cover the soil during winter (below zero degrees Celsius) to stop erosion and keep the soil 'healthy'. I use winter rye most of the times. I sow it after my last crop, somewhere in the autumn. An other option is leguminous, to elevate the nitrogen, but you need to sow it while its summer. So less crops.. So, what I do in order to keep the soil nutricious, what you do too, is raise the soil in the beginning of the season with compost. As you can read, multiple options, depending what you want. But it's way better than a naked ground ;p.
I would really love to do this method this year I have a lot of wood chips down and a couple raised beds but I would like to try my berry patch as a no dig method however the yard I will be planting and has been treated with chemicals last year what are your thoughts on starting a no dig bed this close to trying to repair the soil?
Hoping someone can help me! I have just built a new planter bed that I'm about to fill with a soil mix - the planter was originally going to lie on some loose-stone covered soil (where a huge tree used to be) around the edge of my garden, and I was simply going to line the base of the planter with black fabric and fill the bed. Would it be better if I raked back the stones to expose the soil beneath the planter, and then filled in the bed? (Omitting the need for any fabric?) Would this encourage growth by allowing the planter bed soil to be in contact with the ground?
If you have access to decent soil (compost, bagged garden soil, line the bottom with card board or several layers of newspaper and then fill with your soil mix. It'll work great and build soil life.
@@TrueFoodTV waaah! and she replied! haha! 😍yes you did! I now have pots of herbs, just starting small .. continue to make inspiring, informative and entertaining video! Always loved your channel!
Thank you so much for your video! Extremely helpful and entertaining to watch :-) so, we have a very clear heavy soil. Are you telling me that if I just spread a layer of cardboard and then put only five or 6 inches of compost on top, my plants will thrive? Once they start to break through to the tough clay soil beneath, won’t they have a hard time finding nutrients? Thanks so much!
Did I understand you to say that card board is actually worm friendly and compatible with microbes? It would be interesting to see if worms actually consume or process cardboard after it begins decomposing? I have on occasion bought worm castings from bait - worm growers who sell to bait stores. Very rich soil. . . keep us posted! Thanks for the video. . . . South Carolina

Yes, I agree with the diagnosis.That's why, when you use compost like I am and you're putting some good nutrition down, you shouldn't see those weeds return.
@@TrueFoodTV I'm sure you have more knowledge on this then me. It was a temp job & I don't remember any harsh chemical odors coming from anywhere. Sorry.
I'm heading downstairs right now to annoy my family that we can't throw out anymore boxes ... I'm definitely trying this next year (hate tilling soil).
Diatomaceous earth regularly applied to the undersides of the plant leaves. Well sealed floating row covers and yellow sticky traps. Inter planting with nasturtiums and adding wood ash and straw mulch is an old solution. Having plenty of plants for beneficial insects, like bulb fennel, is always a good idea.
Considering the series is about home gardening, the quality of the content didn't reduce a bit... Lots of info with the best ways of explanation!! ❤️

Cardboard is kraft paper and does not contain chemicals except possibly kaolin (a natural aluminum silicate) which is a stabilizing agent and improves the surface for appearance and printing. Kraft paper is not bleached so no residual bleaching chemicals are present.
Corrugated cardboard is multilayered with corrugated layer in between. These layers and the surface of the corrugations significantly increase the surface area for the activity of microorganisms.
I put my cardboard boxes out back and let the rain and sun work on them. I mix them with other waste like leaves, pine straw and small wood chips from a chipper I bought this year. I run a mower over this and it shreds the cardboard and mixes it with the other material and I have more free stuff for raised beds and containers.
Another great video. Keep it up. Quarantined folks have plenty of time to garden.
I follow Charles Dowding & learnt about " No Dig " 5 years ago & boy is is the only way to garden. Great Video. Cheers Denise- Australia

I've heard of it referred to as "Lasagna" gardening. "No Till" as you know has been used for years.
