Charles Dowding

The weed free, no dig methods I have developed since 1982 give superb space-, carbon-, and time-saving results in both small and large garden areas.

Learn from Charles about growing all kinds of vegetables and many fruits too, productively, healthily and with less effort. I explain and show you the great methods I have evolved, using no-dig and organic principles.

Both day and weekend courses are available at Homeacres garden in Somerset.
