<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Charles shares his organic, no-dig approach to soil and plants and the techniques that enable him to grow healthy, vibrant crops, with the sustainability in mind.</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Charles Dowding (<i>the guru of no dig gardening)</i> shares his organic, no-dig approach to soil and plants, revealing the range of techniques that enable him to grow healthy, vibrant crops while, with sustainability in mind, maintaining a healthy soil. His success is based on these key principles - No-dig -Spread organic matter on the soil surface -Clean & improve the soil in the first 3-12 months - Weed every 10 days or so, when weeds are small. By using a system of permanent, slightly raised beds, Charles shows how to grow a delicious variety of fruit and vegetables organically: what to choose; when to sow, plant and harvest; and how best to avoid pests and diseases. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Charles Dowding</b> has written many books on vegetable growing and contributes regularly to many magazines, including <i>Permaculture</i>, <i>Gardeners' World</i>, <i>Gardens Illustrated</i> & <i>Grow It!. </i>He gives regular talks, advising gardeners on best practice and runs courses on organic, no-dig gardening. He is a regular guest on radio and TV. A veteran organic grower, he has practised no-dig gardening for years, providing produce for local and London markets, running a small farm in France, then producing salad on surface-composted, undisturbed clay soil, which grew bountiful crops and few weeds. He has run experiments to compare differences in growth between vegetables on dug and undug soil, discovering different patterns of growth in most seasons, with slightly lower yields and more weeds and slugs on the dug beds.</p><p> </p><p><i>Photo: Stephanie Hafferty</i></p>, <br>
