Ref GC0045: Organic Gardening - The natural no-dig way by Charles Dowding (2008)

Picture
In Organic Gardening, Charles Dowding share the philosophy, tips and technique which have enabled him to run a successful organic garden supplying local restaurants and shops for over 25 years.

Forget the rules: "received wisdom" about gardening is surprisingly inaccurate.  understand better what is going on in the soil and with your plants, in your own garden and climate, and work out your own methods instead.

Respect and encourage life as much as you can, chiefly by spreading good compost or manure.

There is no need to dig in compost and manure - just spread it on top and let works take it in.  Digging can harm soil structure, and is not helpful to plants.

You can reduce weeding to a little hand-weeding or hoeing every ten days.

For centuries, smart gardeners have practiced "companion planting" - an amazingly simple technique that matches up mutually beneficial plants to produce miracles in your garden.  The only trick is to the technique is knowing which plants like each other and which ones don't!  Once you've got that down, there's no holding back from your best garden ever!
