Talk: No Dig Gardening Caversham Baptist church hall, Church Street, Caversham Organised by: Caversham Horticultural Society |
A talk for Caversham Horticultural Society. No-dig gardening is a sustainable method that avoids digging or tilling the soil, instead building fertile soil by layering organic matter like compost and cardboard on the surface, which nourishes soil life, improves water retention, reduces weeds, and builds healthy soil structure naturally. The talk is at Caversham Baptish church hall (opposite Waitrose). Free for members £3 for visitors. The doors open at 7:25pm and the talk starts shortly afterwards. Refreshments will be served at the end of the talk. There is some limited disabled parking (in the church car park) otherwise free parking is available over the road behind Waitrose. | |
