I want to explore in more detail about the role that the permaculture gardening technique of chop and drop can play in a no dig garden. In this video, I share why chop and drop works, and provide context and examples to back this up. I honestly think that chop and drop is one of the most useful techniques available for improving soil health and fertility in our raised beds in the vegetable garden. And the best thing is that unlike waiting for compost to break down, you can do chop and drop whenever suits you!
