This looks like a good idea for pallet uses. I guess I could use bamboo canes instead of the branches/sticks. @Eisor Fordcraw

After Colin's blog piece on No Dig, has anyone decided to give the method a go, or at least follow some of the principles?
I put cardboard down one year, mainly to stop the weeds coming through. I don't think I added enough mulch on top so it didn't stop the weeds but the soil the following year was so much better!

Has anyone got any good recipes for courgettes? I have one large one and I'm bored of Ratatouille.

Sweet Chilli Sauce
Ingredients
225g white sugar
250ml water
125ml rice wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic- peeled and finely chopped
115g long red chillies/cayenne peppers- peeled and finely chopped with seeds included
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Remove the stem end of the chillies and then slice them in half lengthways. Chop them finely but do not reduce them to paste.
In a saucepan, place the sugar, water, rice wine vinegar, garlic and chillies. Medium heat bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then simmer rapidly on medium to high heat for 12 minutes.
Mix the cornflour with cold water, lower the heat and re-stir the cornflour and water mixture as the cornflour tends to settle if prepared a little in advance.
Add the cornflour and water to the chillies, stir well and simmer for 3 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before bottling. This helps to evenly distribute the chillies through the mixture
Decant into sterilised jars or bottles

Yes we try to follow no dig. It does seem to help with weakening the weeds, but does not eliminate them altogether - so far. I think it’s time and perseverance!
