We ran soils tests on three popular methods for starting garden beds: no dig, lasagna, and traditional tillage to find out which works the best: and the answer may surprise you!
While theories abound about no dig gardens and the "best way" to do things, this video digs a bit deeper into the topics AND goes into the soil test results for each of three methods. We go into soil microbial life and responses to each method, salt and phosphorus levels in the soil, and concerns about heavy metals and PFAS with excess compost use of an unknown origin!
