Product Description
Charles Dowding, one of the pioneers of vegetable box schemes, shares the philosophy, tips and techniques which have enabled him to run a successful organic garden supplying local restaurants and shops for over 25 years: 1. Forget the rules: received wisdom about gardening is surprisingly inaccurate. Understand what is going on in your own garden and climate, and work out your own methods 2. Respect and encourage life as much as you can, chiefly by spreading good compost or manure 3. There is no need to dig in compost and manure just spread it on top and let worms take it in 4. You only need to weed about once every ten days. Based on his experience of a system of permanent slightly-raised beds, Charles takes you through a delicious variety of fruit and vegetables: what to choose, when to plant and harvest, and how best to avoid pests and diseases. The book includes recipes to inspire you, with your fresh-picked produce, and 32 pages of full colour photographs.

A Must For Any Vegetable Grower,
By
This review is from: Organic Gardening: The Natural No-dig Way (Paperback)
This is a gardening book of the old school, one that is based on proven, tested experience and not the ususal unsubstantiated platitudes so easy to find in most books on the subject published these days.
Light on pictures and full of accurate information this is now my most valued book on vegetable growing, and would be useful to any allotment or home grower of food. In fact the book's title sells it short, as much of the book would be helpful to an organic 'digger' or even a non-organic grower. If you grow vegetables, fruit or herbs than you should read this book.

A life changing book!,
By
This review is from: Organic Gardening: The Natural No-dig Way (Paperback)
My husband used to spend every minute from March to May digging and re-digging his veg patch. We put in raised beds and followed Charles Dowdings advice and we have had much better veg and he now really enjoys his gardening... we have a greenhouse full of young seedlings and another exciting year in store!

A must have for organic growers,
By Belle Loudon (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organic Gardening: The Natural No-dig Way (Paperback)
Everything you'll ever need to know about raised beds and no-dig organic gardening. Lots of stuff I've never read before about how important it is to grow the right veg, herb, fruit at the right time. i.e. Spring isn't always the optimum time for sowing certain varieties - which explains why some of my plants - although organically grown and given loads of TLC didn't thrive. Excellent book by someone who absolutely knows his stuff. I want to be let loose in his garden and then cook myself dinner! A must have for anyone who cares about their green footprint, wants to garden 'with' and not 'against' nature, and wants to make the most of a small area to grow the best stuff.
