Charles has been practising no-dig organic growing for over 30 years. In this new full-colour edition of Organic Gardening he shares the wealth of his experience explaining his approach to soil & plants & revealing the range of techniques that have enabled him to grow healthy & vibrant plants for decades. His success is based on some key principles: * No-dig enhances soil structure & encourages healthy growth especially when soil life is encouraged & multiplied through the addition of good compost & manure. * Organic matter is best spread on the surface
- just leave it on top & let the worms take it in aerating the soil as they do so. * When starting with weedy soil there is a period of three to twelve months depending on weed types when the emphasis is on cleaning & improving the soil. * Using a no-dig method you can easily control weeds with just a little hand weeding or hoeing every ten days or so when weeds are small. Based on this approach & his experience of a system of permanent slightly raised beds Charles shows you how to grow a delicious variety of fruit & vegetables: what to choose when to sow plant & harvest & how best to avoid pests & diseases.
