https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM_SJJ95k8gFilmed in summer of asparagus year 6 after a third season of harvests, this year 2018 we picked 15.5kg/34lb of spears. The asparagus plants are growing on level ground with no ridges, easier for weeding because very few grow. We are a zone 8, temperate climate with around 800mm/32in rain per annum. My garden includes 1000sqm of no dig beds (a quarter acre), growing salad leaves and some vegetables for sale.
Superb calendar. All the "extras" such as first and last sowing dates are extremely useful. Mintie of course is worth the price of admission on her own, plus there's more good advice in just a view pages than in many a gardening book! Looking forward to spreading my home-made compost very soon and having another very successful year of no-dig vegetable growing.
I can't recommend this course highly enough. We are just starting our new allotment plot and building it entirely around the no dig method. Charles Dowding's online course has been absolutely amazing. It provides clear, step-by-step explanations for everything, which has been perfect for us. It has given us both the practical skills and, just as importantly, the confidence we needed to progress with our project. It's an invaluable resource for anyone looking to start their own no dig journey.
As a relatively newbie to the vegetable garden I found myself mega motivated to make the most of my small garden. Amazed at the wealth of knowledge laid down in this book and I for one will be glued to it. First job a small greenhouse, then we’re off!!

Hi Charles, I like the idea of your seed modules/seed trays and would like to know where I can purchase them. I have only been growing vegetables for a couple of years and I am going to try your no dig way as it seems to be a little easier for the older gardener.
I have been following what you do on YouTube so thanks for that.
Regards
Donald
