No dig homesteader, author and writer, Stephanie Hafferty moved into her new home and garden at the beginning of 2021.
Here she gives a tour in summer 2022, just a year after creating her new garden, and the weedy lawn has become a colourful, diverse and abundant veg patch.
Stephanie used layers of cardboard and just 5cm of peat-free compost on top, to turn the lawn into veg beds – a simple way to create beds without destroying the soil.
In Stephanie’s half acre homestead (half of which is an orchard), she grows, onions, garlic, brassicas, parsnips, peas, sweet potatoes and more!
Stephanie gives talks and workshops about no dig gardening, sustainable growing and homesteading across the UK. More info here: https://nodighome.com/events
