Charles Dowding

I emailed Charles Dowding to let him know that I used his book as a guide for setting up my new allotment and the community garden. He replied:

Hello Lorna

Many thanks for this, it is encouraging to hear you have done all that with just the book to help you! It makes all the writing worthwhile, to have feedback like this.
Funnily enough I am just doing a piece for Amateur Gardening on the virtues of no dig and the lead photo is something like in your piece:

best wishes
Charles

Look at the incredible salad beds on his homepage!

PS: I have just gone 'public' with my blog now that I have a little more time with my son starting school. So if you like what you see, please follow, share, get in touch if you like. Thanks!
