Description
Written by no dig expert, Charles Dowding, this beautiful guide shares the art of organic gardening.
The no dig approach to gardening – based on the key principle of leaving the ground as undisturbed as possible – has gained popularity in recent years as a more efficient, economical and sustainable way to grow healthy plants.
In the first volume of Organic Gardening, Charles Dowding reveals a range of techniques to grow organic crops, enhance soil structure and improve soil fertility. From sowing seeds and making compost to companion planting and tackling pests and disease, Charles shares expert advice on establishing healthy beds for growing an abundance of food. In addition to explaining the why and how of no dig gardening, he explores ways to grow more food using simple new energy methods such as electroculture and sowing by the moon.
Filled with beautiful photos and inspiring experiments from Charles' own land, this accessible guide is an essential resource for gardeners.
