Charles Dowding develops and writes about time and labour saving
methods of high yielding, nature friendly gardening. He has written
eleven books and publishes an annual calendar of sowing dates, runs
a YouTube channel with 48 million views, writes for gardening
magazines, and gives talks and courses at home and abroad. He has
created four online courses: No Dig Gardening, Skills for Growing,
and Seed to Harvest in two parts.
He has been growing professionally since 1982, and using no dig
methods since 1983. His current site at Homeacres is well known for
its rapid transformation from weedy pasture to beautiful garden in
just a half-year (see the video "No Dig Abundance" on Youtube).
Currently he crops an intensive 0.35 acres/1300 square metres, and
sells GBP20,000 of harvests locally.
"Skills for Growing is overflowing with advice and instructions based on years' worth of detailed data gathering and observation. It is vibrantly illustrated with images of the crops he grows at his market garden Homeacres, which are refreshingly unromantic and so genuinely complementary to the written guidance, making this a feast for both the brain and eyes."--Claire Ratinon, Gardens Illustrated
