https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/8456e304-667d-4e80-82c6-b170cbe59fde In the fourth year of this trial 2016. Two adjacent strips of ground 6.5ft (2m) wide, and 29.5ft (9m) long. Strip one has it's soil loosened with a fork (after originally turning over the pasture January 2013, see thumbnail) then is mulched with 2in/5cm compost each winter. The beds of strip 2 are simply mulched with 2in/5cm compost without any loosening at all. (In 2013 no compost was used.) See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVY4SJt4mzg for descriptions of the compost used. The trial started in 2013 and is ongoing. There is a third strip mulched with different compost, the subject of film 2 (coming soon), and a third film looks at some effects of not rotating vegetables in this trial and elsewhere in my garden.
