Charles’ advice is distilled from 35 years of growing vegetables intensively and efficiently; he is the acknowledged no dig guru and salad expert both in the UK and internationally.

Stephanie, a kitchen gardener, grows in her small, productive home garden and allotment, and creates no dig gardens for restaurants and private estates. She creates delicious seasonal recipes made from the vegetables anyone can grow. She also explains how to use common plants you can grow and forage to make handmade preparations for the home and garden.

“Charles has become the guru of no dig growing. He’s a really good grower of organic and fabulous produce … I’m a convert now ... one should dig as little as possible.”

Monty Don, Gardeners’ World, BBC 1, April 2017
