#55 THE KING OF NO-DIG - CHARLES DOWDING!!
Since the early 1980's, Charles has been instrumental in popularising the "no-dig" style of gardening, beliveving that the secret to ultimate yield when it comes to growing your own food is to leave the soil minimally disturbed or unmolested.
Charles is cambridge-educated, holding a degree in geography, yet he has never pursued a career in academia, instead, he has only ever wanted to work with the land, having spent the last 40 years building the productive capacity of market gardens in a number of different countries and regions.
It's literally impossible to sum up what this man has done for gardening, i just feel honoured that he's taken the time to talk to me about his rich life, spent unlocking the secrets of garden yield using a minimally-disruptive and even soil-regenerative approach of no-dig.
If you need to know anything more about the amazing Charles, give him a google or follow him on instagram at charles_dowding.
