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 sustainable techniques to grow organic crops while enhancing soil structure. Filled with beautiful photos and inspiring case studies from Charles' own land, this practical guide is packed with easy-to-follow, expert advice on establishing healthy beds. Charles also explores natural alternative organic gardening approaches, such as growing with the moon and electroculture.
From sowing seeds and making compost to watering techniques and tackling pests and disease, this accessible guide is an essential resource for beginners and experienced gardeners.
