Expensive and hard to put up Hedges Attractive and more permanent than fencing. Compete with plants for water and nutrients; take time to establish and need  maintenance Windbreak netting Cheap and easy to put up.  Easy to move to where it is needed. Unattractive and not permanent.
Cultivation – to dig or not to dig? ,[object Object],[object Object]
Advantages of each method Digging – advantages  No dig - advantages  Exposes pests and diseases to the elements and predators  Does not expose annual weed seeds to light – so no need for a ‘stale seed bed’  Incorporates organic material into the soil and allows the elements to break down clods of clay  No need to incorporate the organic matter  Breaks down hard pan and soil compaction  Retains moisture as the raised bed acts like a mulch.  Allows a good depth of root run in well cultivated soil  Encourages worm populations and can be used on most soils  Digging encourages the break down of organic matter by allowing oxygen into the soil. The use of composted organic material is said to result in fewer diseases and pests
Disadvantages of each method Digging - disadvantages No Dig - disadvantages Exposes weed seeds to the light triggering germination Needs very large amounts of suitable organic material and loam Labour intensive – very physically demanding Perhaps less physically demanding but still very hard work to set up Digging wet soils – particularly clay or loam – can cause compaction Any hard pan or compaction in the underlying soil is not broken up and this can lead to poor drainage May damage the soils natural balance – harming animals and good bacteria Indications are that if used for a long period this method can damage soil fertility.
