My ‘old school’ wife favours digging and leaving the soil bare over winter, but I am not convinced – for allotmenteers, the difference in yield between dig and no-dig seems to be marginal. This catchy tune is all about the hard work that goes into getting a meal, from planting the seeds to harvesting the crops. Meanwhile, he spends more time with Edith, a widow, and her young son Robert, finding common interest in archaeology and astronomy with them.

In a more mixed review, Mark Kermode of The Guardian rated the film 3/5 stars, writing that "it's a melancholy whimsy about common purpose, new friendship and the persistence of the past, bogged down occasionally by a somewhat superfluous romantic subplot but buoyed up by Mike Eley's lush cinematography". It just seems like a super weird thing to emphasize throughout that they can work all day and then end it with sleeping when they're being portrayed as machines not "characters.

Only much later was Brown given full credit for his contribution and his name is now displayed permanently alongside Pretty's at the British Museum.

Labour saving in that no digging is required although this may be outweighed by the labour making the compost.

I’m just a rookie but I’m of the opinion that, if you like digging, then go dig – digging definitely offers its own pleasure and satisfaction. Hi guys – having reached retirement, I am able to share my wife’s lifelong interest in allotmenteering and we took on a new plot two years ago which we have just about finished tidying up. Margaret Mary Cumming was born 10 May 1935 in London, England, the daughter of William John and Anna (Macleod) Cumming.I wrote this article on no-dig gardening versus digging in 2017 for Home Farmer magazine, sadly no longer with us. Most soil life is found fairly close to the surface, where it's readily accessible to new roots, but if you dig, you risk plunging those organisms deep into the soil, out of reach of your plants. As Lovelock noted, we have dug up no ancient rocks without also digging up ancient life preserved in them. In late autumn, spread manure or compost over the surface of the bed and worms will do the work of incorporating it by taking it down into the soil. Those with lighter soils already in good heart with plenty of organic matter in them could well find a no-dig system productive and profitably use the time and effort previously devoted to digging in the production of more good quality compost to improve their plot.

The idea, so far as I understand it, is that the root system of a suitable cover crop will go some way towards opening up the sub-soil as an alternative to deep digging. Blondie’s “Dig Up the Conjo” was released in 1999 and is a song about two people who are talking about someone who has died. Hard pans are broken up allowing the top soil depth to increase and avoiding high water tables that can effectively root prune or even drown crops.Because the soil is not inverted, weed seeds waiting to germinate are not brought to the surface so weeds should be less of a problem although the plot will still be susceptible to weed seeds blown in on the wind. Besides, the time saved on digging would be offset by making huge amounts of compost which I find it a bid daft.

Plenty of lime helped the flocculation of clay particles and masses of organic matter has given us topsoil of dark crumbly soil of 15ins in depth after 7 years. Over the first winter, I planted grazing rye and winter tares in part of the plot and it grew very well. The repetitious nature of the book has helped him pick up some new words and as we sign it together he is developing there too.

However, perennial weeds are weakened by the mulch, and you can usually keep on top of them by pulling them out when they appear. Mark Bridge of The Times noted that archaeologists had taken issue with the film's portrayal of Peggy Piggott as inexperienced and only hired because her light weight would not disturb the delicate site.
