NO DIG GARDENING

Written by award winning author, YouTube guru, and master organic gardener Charles Dowding, NO DIG GARDENING is a practical and inspiring pictorial guide showing gardeners how they can produce the same abundant, healthy, and low weed vegetable crops Charles has enjoyed for four decades of NOT digging in his gardens.

Though turning the soil has been a go-to practice of gardeners for generations, the benefits of NO DIG are undeniable. By not disturbing the soil, gardeners keep the beneficial mycorrhizal fungi intact, retain moisture, sow with little prep, weed less, sustain soil fertility, and enjoy healthy, abundant gardens.


Charles' straightforward text moves experienced gardeners from exhaustion to enthusiasm, and new gardeners from overwhelm to confidence. Once gardeners apply the simple and proven NO DIG GARDENING methods, most become NO DIG converts for life, and frequently express to Charles' their excitement about laying down the shovel, leaving carbon in the soil, eliminating the confusing cycle of fertilizing, and enjoying higher vegetable yields with fewer weeds, and less water, time, and work.
Charles teaches live and virtual workshops from his market garden Homeacres Garden in Somerset England and also lectures across Europe. He reaches people virtually worldwide through online courses, and hosts half million YouTube subscribers who enjoy his inspiring hands-on videos demonstrating the benefits, practices and abundant outcomes of his NO DIG organic gardening methods.
