Charles Dowding No-dig gardener

Charles Dowding has made no dig gardening popular. His mission is to share evidence-based understandings that help gardeners to:

Grow more, from fewer resources, in less time.

His core method, no dig, enables us to grow more food from less input. No dig requires less compost than if you dig, for the same amount of harvest. This can be seen on his trial beds, from which he has recorded harvests every year since 2007. 

The main focus of his adult life has been to grow healthy and health-giving food and now that there is more interest in that, he is developing the teaching side of what he does to reach out more widely, while continuing to run a small market and teaching garden in Somerset, UK, close to where he was born.

We look forward to learning more at Words in Watchet.
