        <description>It's been a very busy month since the last tour. Also unusually sunny with 200+ hours in April, just 25mm rain, and temperatures of 16°C/60°F, by day, and 4°C/39°F by night. Already I'm running low on space for new plantings. The few empty beds are for squashes, sweetcorn and courgettes, which we plant in late May mostly. I show how to make more of your space by interplanting between garlic, and sowing radish with carrots. There are potentially many more interplants through the summer, between different crops that finish quite soon. The trial beds are explained here https://charlesdowding.co.uk/blogs/trials/dig-no-dig-trial-2019-2022 For more about the Bosnian pyramids, see the work of Semir Osmanagich https://www.semirosmanagic.com/en/ Homeacres no dig garden is in SW England, zone 8b.
