Product Information
In this new full-colour edition of Organic Gardening, Charles Dowding shares the wealth of his experience, explaining his approach to soil and plants and revealing the range of techniques that have enabled him to grow healthy and vibrant crops for decades. Charles has been practising no-dig organic growing for over 30 years. In this new, full-colour edition of Organic Gardening he shares the wealth of his experience, explaining his approach to soil and plants and revealing the range of techniques that have enabled him to grow healthy and vibrant plants for decades. His success is based on some key principles: * No-dig enhances soil structure and encourages healthy growth, especially when soil life is encouraged and multiplied through the addition of good compost and manure. * Organic matter is best spread on the surface - just leave it on top and let the worms take it in, aerating the soil as they do so. * When starting with weedy soil there is a period of three to twelve months, depending on weed types, when the emphasis is on cleaning and improving the soil. * Using a no-dig method you can easily control weeds with just a little hand weeding or hoeing every ten days or so, when weeds are small. Based on this approach and his experience of a system of permanent, slightly raised beds, Charles shows you how to grow a delicious variety of fruit and vegetables: what to choose, when to sow, plant and harvest, and how best to avoid pests and diseases.Product Identifiers

Eye Opening book about organic vegetable growing
Charles Dowding has been using his method of growing organically for years now, he runs a market garden in the same way. I would love to live close enough to be a customer, but unfortunately I don't. Charles uses no dig raised beds, but there the similarity with traditional methods ends. I couldn't put Charles book down and I would urge anyone who is interested in growing their own vegetables to find out more. This book has been very well read already and I cannot recommend it enough.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best gardening book ever, I’ve thrown my other one away.
Well it was over 25 years old and kept recommending spraying with chemicals that have been banned for years. But this book is clear, with just enough detail to get things right that you have been doing wrong all the time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
