    About this ebook

    Charles Dowding (the guru of no dig gardening) 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.

      An English gardener--too bad I didn't realize that when I borrowed the book. I do like his idea of skipping all the double-digging that intensive gardeners do, keeping weed seeds buried and the soil structure intact. However, it's pretty useless for American Great Lakes states. He is obsessed about slugs--they are the only insect pest he mentions and every technique he talks about is related to how good it is at dealing with slugs. I also got lost trying to translate British terms into American. What is fleece as a row cover? Remay? And all units of measurement are in metric--with an occasional American equivalent thrown in. Hard to think of lumber sizes as cm.
