An in-depth course for experienced gardeners or those new to no dig gardening
This book is for anyone wishing to learn the no dig method from the beginning, or to consolidate what they already know: it helps readers to see the simplicity of no dig, why it works so well, and how much time they can save. The course has six modules and totals 18 lessons, each one packed with easy-to-understand theory and practical advice. The lessons are beautifully illustrated with fully explained photos from Charles’s no dig gardens. At the end of each lesson there is a multiple-choice quiz to consolidate learning, with answers in the appendix. This book will have a sequel, based on Charles’s second online course.
About the Author
Charles Dowding pioneers timesaving methods of organic, and especially no dig gardening. In addition, he trials and publicises new ways of growing and picking salad leaves, and of multi-sowing vegetables. His growing methods are as applicable for small areas as large ones and his methods are used by hundreds of thousands of gardeners. He has created and cropped four no dig market gardens on different soils: stony, silt, white and ordinary clay. In the 1980s his garden covered 7.5 acres/3ha of no dig beds and was less intensive than now. Currently he crops an intensive 0.25 acres/1000 square metres in Somerset, SW England, for local sales of salad leaves and vegetables. Most beds grow two crops a year. He has written ten books, runs a You Tube channel, has created two online gardening courses, writes for gardening magazines, appears on the BBC and gives talks/courses at home and abroad.
