    In this hardback edition of Organic Gardening, Charles Dowding (the guru of no dig gardening), Charles 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.

    Charles's crops positively glow with health, in testament to his methods... he conveys a deep reverence for the soil, which has fuelled his no-dig ethos. * Kitchen Garden magazine * If anyone can convince gardeners that vegetable plots do not need digging, it is this author - his methods are at times contrary to standard advice, but he is not dogmatic and has a gift for clear explanation. * Sue Stickland, RHS The Garden * Charles is a passionate and accomplished gardener, who grows vegetables of amazing flavour. * Raymond Blanc OBE World renowned chef and restaurateur * One of our most respected vegetable growers... Now ordinary gardeners can benefit from his years of practical experience. * Joy Larkcom, author of Grow Your Own Vegetables * This book will undoubtedly become the 'no-dig' bible, as was its predecessor. * Pushing Up Dandelions website *
