Talking Dirty (Charles Dowding - 'No Dig' Author and Teacher, Episode 31)

The name Charles Dowding has become synonymous with 'No Dig' techniques, but what exactly does 'No Dig' involve? And why is it such a successful and popular method of gardening? This week on the podcast, Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis are joined by Charles to talk about the lattice of ideas that make up the method, plus loofa antics and some Show and Tell that looks good enough to eat! It's a podcast jam-packed with revelations about everything from soil to slugs, paths to weeds - with plenty of ideas for your allotment, potager or kitchen garden. Charles even shares some of his favourite Winter salads for those of you growing your own at home.
