No dig beds sown with potatoes make excellent trojans for what you may want to plant in the long term. The compost and potatoes will shape and soften the soil where the truffles will eventually be grown.No dig recipe:
Step 1. Mark out the area and shape with bricks.
Step 2. Create the layers:
Layer 1: brown cardboard boxes. placed thickly straight over the lawn.
Layer 2: semi broken down clods and weeds that were dug up from the vege patch covered with fresh weeds and glass clips.
Layer 3: cardboard boxes again.
Layer 4: lucurn Hay
Layer 5: manure
Layer 6: pinoak leaves
Layer 8: lucern, blood and bone, worm juice and Seasol.
Layer 9: straw 20 cm thick.
Step 3 Make cup holes in the lucern down to the thin layer of soil. Put the seed potato in and fill the cup with a little soil topped with pea straw.
Zuchinies are grown in the cups made in the straw filled with a little soil.
Peas are grown along the fence for temporary privacy and nitogen for the soil...and also for the beans.
Potatoes like phosphorous - blood and bone , manure and plant leaves are good sources of phosphorpus.
