"No dig" in Pots

I do less digging now but still a bit. For example, where I grew peas last year (getting a bumper crop), I pulled up and hoed mainly but digging over the end of the patch that was mainly clay and weeds. When the onions were just big enough to plant out, I hoes again and planted the seedlings with a trowel. They have had one feed on my special brew and are now looking like a bumper crop.

Because of the pandemic, we had a composting toilet in the garden for visitors. This has given me a reasonable supply of urine which is rich in nutrients, particularly nitrogen. To create my special brew I have been adding this to a 200L water butt filled with comfrey leaves and topping up with water. I was surprised that the resulting mix had less of a smell that comfrey on its own. The tomatoes and other greenhouse crops are thriving on it also. So no compost added but a good organic fertilizer - that is free.
