Charles Dowding will joining us all the way from England to talk about no-till gardening and organic composting.
Charles Dowding, educated at Cambridge University, has created timesaving methods of organic, and especially no dig gardening. Charles also conducts trials and publicise new ways of growing, picking, marketing salad leaves, and of multi-sowing vegetables. Since 1982 he has created and cultivated four no dig market gardens on different soils: stony, silt, white and ordinary clay. In the 1980s his garden covered 7.5 acres (3ha) of no dig beds and was less intensive than now. The growing methods are as applicable for small areas as large ones. Currently, Charles cultivates intensively 0.33 acres/1300 square metres in Somerset, SW England, for local sales of salad leaves and vegetables. He has written 11 books and two more on the way, articles for national gardening magazines, and regular uploads of videos to my You Tube channel. Plus Charles gives talks and courses at home and abroad. Charles and his “No Dig” method has been written about in the New York Times. https://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/post/charles-dowdings-life-and-his-story-of-no-dig
