Charles Dowding is world-renowned as a pioneer of no dig growing, and while it’s great for saving time and effort, it’s also proven to be more productive and better for the environment, and the soil, too.
Who better to hear from on ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ than the pioneer himself, as Charles joins Sarah and Josie to share his decades of experience with no dig, tips on creating your own fertile garden compost at home, and inspiring ideas for what to sow in late-March.
In this episode, discover:
- Charles’ experience with the no dig ethos in different soil types around the world
- How switching to no dig has made his crops consistently more productive across many years
- How to convert your own organic waste into fertile compost for successful growing and improve the long-term health of your soil
