Forget the spade: why you should try no-dig gardening

From Saturday Morning, 9:34 am on 26 July 2025

What's going on in our soggy backyards this time of the year? If you haven't been out there lately, don't stress, our resident gardener Hannah Zwartz reckons it is the perfect time to step back and assess the bones or the structure of our gardens before spring kicks in.

Hannah talks to Mihi about soil-biology and why she's been converted to no-dig gardening.
