Description: In this video I show how to set up a zero maintenance no dig vegetable plot. If done correctly this design of vegetable plot will only need planting up in spring and then harvested in autumn with no other input required. The key to it's success is to ensure the ground is covered as this will stop weeds from growing. The cardboard smothers the existing weeds so that no digging or weeding is required at the beginning. The mulch and cardboard then help to prevent any weeds from self-seeding throughout the season. If any weeds do manage to grow later in the season the ground cover vegetables will smother these and stop them from growing.
