Seems to be an informed opinion?

While we're, sort of, talking about No digging , I wondered how many of you have heard of W E Shewell-Cooper? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._E._Shewell-Cooper

I have a book of his "Compost gardening" (Pub 1974) that I read long before I'd heard of Charles Dowding. Its one of many that he wrote about using compost as a mulch and not digging the soil. Its an interesting read.

Found it at a reasonable price on fleebay.
