He is keeping watch to take care of any of those pesky Lilly Beetles ( Lilioceris lilii ) that might appear. Just before lunch (very important), he went over to the Lilac bush and got some blooms to take in for Mom!

I’ve added a worm box to the plot.It’s been interesting to see the depth of good soil before the clay layer starts too. Being no dig I only get to see the top soil depth when I do a project like this. This area has probably been undisturbed for nearly a decade. I wish I’d measured the top soil depth before I started down the no dig route.
I’ll add a lid and then worms and feed them some food scraps regularly. The worms should be safe from predation and be able to escape into the soil away from any extremes of heat and cold.
I’ll add a layer of sand or grit at the bottom to improve the water infiltration as the worm box it is now sitting directly on the clay layer.
The worms may just leave for somewhere better but I’m hoping they’ll stay and provide lots of worm poo for the plot.

This one is from my earlier experiment with growing tomatoes in different medium. Since it was growing in clay balls, it was easy to remove the old medium and put it in a mesh cup with perlite for her new home in the Dutch bucket unit.
The other 3 were in soil, so it takes time to clean up their roots, disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide and then place them in a 5cm mesh cup.
