B&Q Promotes "No-Dig" Method for Environmentally Friendly Garden Care

B&Q advises against digging gardens as it is not only hard work but also harmful to the environment.

A "no-dig" method is recommended instead, where compost is applied to the surface of the soil once or twice a year to encourage natural regeneration and reduce the growth of weeds.

This method helps soil recovery and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

The traditional digging method damages bacteria and fungi in the soil and exposes carbon to oxygen, leading to greenhouse gas emissions.
