An absolutely fantastic book .. so practical and easy to follow !

I bought this book as a gift for a fellow gardener. I have not seen the book myself, but had a rave revue from the friend I bought it for. I have been a Charles Dowding follower for years, have many of his books...and love them all. They are my bibles. Our Community Garden is also working the 'No Dig' method.

What I like about Charles' style of writing is the informality, the positivity and the diary style writing. This book is one I refer to time and time again to read about what he's trialled and tested, and the results he had from these trials. This doesn't just have to be for vegetables of course, but for any planting, any style of garden. Anyone who has worked in health (like me) and had to read endless clinical trial reports or medical journal articles, will appreciate his enormous effort in setting up these trials, some which last years, and then writing up the results. Excellent scholarly research as well as practical advice and so fun to read!
