So a lot of people think that growing root crops will be a problem in a no dig set up. But here we're in front of a carrot bed and the carrots have done really well this year. And I can just pull the carrot out of the ground. Here we're in quite a heavy clay, whereas on the other side in the south beds, we're in sand. That would come out very clean, but that's a perfectly formed carrot. And we'll serve carrots with their leaves to indicate the freshness of the carrot. But it's no problem growing root vegetables in a no dig setup. They do very well.
