Welcome to our short and sharp summer series where we revisit some of your very favourite episodes. We've added an additional little intro, reflecting on our chat with Charles Dowding and general updates since then. things we've been working on since then. Gosh we loved revisiting this chat with Charles. Whether it's your first time listening, or your second go, we hope you get a lot out of it. Listen to Part 2 with Charles Dowding here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7hb74jPuZDqravRpS0oR9N?si=d622b4298b914633 Here's the original episode spiel: Pinch us! We had the chance to speak with the guru of no dig gardening himself, Mr Charles Dowding. Over an hour and a half we meandered all manner of subjects including the obvious (no dig gardening, composting, weeding) and the maybe less obvious - the politics of gardening, UK alotments, microdosing. To keep our episodes short(ish) and sharp(ish) we've split this into 2 parts. Charles Dowding has been gardening organically and applying the no-dig method for the past 40 years. He's been instrumental in spreading the word of this style of gardening globally, heralding its effectiveness against weeds, its ability to produce thriving veggies, and its time-saving benefits. Based in Somerset in the south west corner of England, Charles gardens on his property, Homeacres, a 1 ½ acre block. He recently celebrated 11 years there, and it's magic to see the transformation of this space from a neglected parcel of land into a productive paradise. Charles's kinesiology career was short-lived due to the frequent remarks about the dirt under his fingernails, but he wouldn't have it any other way. Charles is passionate about education and is increasingly a voice for the future of food and how gardening can play a pivotal role in climate change. He has written numerous books on gardening, he runs workshops from Homeacres and online, and liberally shares his insights, successes and failures on YouTube and social media. He must be one of the happiest people in gardening. Find Charles on Instagram here But before we get there...we're chatting about tiger snakes, guinea fowl, garlic, accidental gardens, zucchini season, jam season, community flower shows, We're drinking an English Breakfast Mar-tea-ni. We made a tea sugar syrup, added gin, lemon juice, aquafaba (use egg white if you like) and that's pretty much it! Super refreshing. Can recommend. We're recommending Futuresteading by Jade Miles. Charles recommends Peter Singers' book Animal Liberation

The Plot Thickens can't think of anything better than an early Sunday morning on the plot having a long conversation about mulch; when to do it, why we do it and with what. That it happens to be No Dig day is icing on the cake.
So is it possible that digging your garden is a total waste of your time? According to our guest on this episode, it may be time to put down that shovel and spend those precious hours doing something way more productive. Charles Dowding is best known as the ‘No-Dig Guru. He trained as a horticulturalist and became very interested in the links between soil and nutrition. During his studies, he discovered that we can have healthier soil by leaving it undisturbed, and just feeding it with compost from above. On this episode of Food Matters Charles reveals the science behind his revolutionary approach to gardening and food production. It's a wide-ranging conversation touching on topics like soil health, the nutritional density of fruit and veg and the global food system. And its packed full of practical knowledge and advice to help you to become the best version of your best home-grower self.

In this episode of The 5 O' Clock Apron Podcast, Claire cooks with champion gardener Charles Dowding. From a farming family in rural Somerset, Charles' focus as a gardener and author has always been to grow healthy and health-giving food. Through his teaching on gardening courses around the world and also on his sizeable social media platform, Charles is keen to promote an awareness of nutrition and its links to food production. Charles has accumulated a considerable following for his No – Dig philosophy on soil management and gardening. Cooking with Charles is like visiting Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, with Charles producing delicious, homegrown ingredients to use in the borscht that we make together. With the pot bubbling away on the stove top, Charles and I take a turn around his beautiful garden, I get to meet his worms, check out the shed where he stores a bounty of fruit and veg all winter long, and all the while, as we walk along, we stop and munch on various vegetables from bed to bed. Eat More Soil (a peck in a lifetime for optimum gut health he tells us) is a maxim I take away from my day cooking with this legend of the gardening world. Thank you Charles, I'll be back in the summer when the borlotti beans you gave me to sow have grown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you're a fan of making your own clothes, chances are you might also be into growing some of your own food. And like this week's guest, garden consultant Pippa Chapman, highlights, once you start trying to be more sustainable in one area of your life, that approach usually spreads to other areas. In this episode Pippa actually takes the reins and gives me a consultation about my own little garden. She offers up advice on how I can use my space more productively and successfully. Support the podcast over on Patreon! Garden consultation Find Pippa Instagram's feed @pippachapman_thoseplantpeople and Those Plant People's Youtube channel and website. The Cloud Gardener specialises in garden designs for balcony places. My post about saving seeds from shop bought baby plum tomatoes. Pippa's design for a milk bottle slug/snail trap: Stephanie Hafferty is a proponent of the No Dig approach to gardening. Pippa's design for a double palette planter: Huw Richards is a permaculture inspired gardener with a popular Youtube channel. My takeaways from the garden consultation: Train courgettes to grow upwards Grow pumpkins and BNS up washing lines to form a canopy Look for squash variety Crown Prince Try slug and snail trap (see pic above) Try growing some perennial vegetables including perennial kale varieties Taunton Deane, Daubenton Kale and Panache Kale Look out for Babington Leek For the shady area, consider Caucasian Spinach - which can be encouraged to grow upwards, plus salad leaves and swiss chard Plant spring bulbs to provide food for pollinators early in the year Edible flower options can provide food for humans and pollinators. Look for Daylilies (Latin Hemerocallis) - you can eat every part of the plant, Campanulas - siberian bellflower and Allium Molly - edible flowers for adding to salads Add mulch to the soil in Nov/Dec Incorporate water into the garden, a container with shallow edges, so bees and other pollinators can drink Decomposing wood provides a habitat for some insects Consider comfrey as living mulch and to make fertiliser from it

The first day of spring is here and we're starting to sow the seeds of the gardening year. Chris Collins pays a visit to Richard Wilford at Kew Gardens where he talks about tackling pests and reducing digging. “Our tolerance of pests has changed,” says Richard. “You've just got to accept the fact you're going getting some aphids sometimes, and not get your sprayer out every time you see one. Allow the garden ecosystem to do what it needs to do…and then you won't need to worry about pest outbreaks because they're naturally controlled.” He talks about his plans for a new Carbon Garden at Kew that will demonstrate which plants can cope with climate change and offset it, and what you can do in your own garden. “The soil is the most important thing in a garden…and the health of the plants is so much better when you're not disturbing the soil. It acts as a great big carbon sink,” Richard adds. Chris also catches up with Garden Organic's head gardener Emma O'Neill about what she's doing in our organic demonstration garden this month. They discuss successional sowing - and how important a sowing timetable is for planning vegetables all year round, and share details of their favourite flowers. “Growing organically is not just about food production but also about incorporating ornamentals,” says Emma. “The more diversity you've got in your garden, the more beneficial stuff you're going to get in including more pollinators.”
Local gardening expert Charlie Nardozzi has been talking about no-dig gardening techniques for awhile. He compares his practices to those of another gardening "Charlie," Charles Dowding from England, who has been no-dig gardening for decades.
If you've heard of no dog gardening this is the man who popularised it and brought it to the masses. Charles, from a dairy farm never saw a future in that sector for ethical reasons. Since then he has ventured into crop production on a horticultural scale, been involved in scientific trialing, written 14 books and built up a following across all platforms of over 1 million. Including over 500k on YouTube. A topical chat with a progressive mind…with me trying to not get confused!
In this weeks episode which is our first episode of 2023 I chat with organic grower Kitty Scully. Its a great chat with lots of great tips for growing organically. We also chat about food systems, farmers markets and lots more. Kitty is also an active member of the OGI small growers network see detail below. https://organicgrowersireland.ieOGI Small Growers Network Coordinator – Kitty ScullyKitty Scully is a well-known organic gardener and local food advocate in Ireland. Growing up on a mixed organic farm in Co Laois, she picked up a love of eating and growing good food at a young age. She nurtured this through travelling the world working on organic farms and studying. An MSc in Organic Horticulture is her highest paper accolade but her practical achievements go far beyond. Kitty has had a diverse career in organic horticulture, from managing a market garden for nuns to writing for national papers and presenting on TV gardening shows. She was former Head Food Gardener in Airfield Estate where she spearheaded the kitchen gardens conversion to organic production principles. Kitty is a natural communicator who regularly gives talks, lectures and teaches workshops on food growing using organic methods. She has recently returned to her native county after indulging her passion for travel, continued learning and Regenerative Agriculture systems on a one year farm study trip to South America. Kitty's energy and enthusiasm for growing, learning and talking about all things soil based is endless!There will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website.

With the publication of his much-anticipated new book 'No Dig', Charles Dowding joins Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis to share amazing insight into the soil we grow our precious plants in, and also Show and Tell some of his favourite varieties from his plot this year. PLANT LIST Brussel Sprout 'Evesham Special' Celery 'Victoria' F1 Beetroot 'Boltardy' Tomato 'Sun Heart' Aubergine 'De Barbentane' Snack Pepper 'Flynn' Apple 'Ribston Pippin' Plum 'Coe's Golden Drop' Tomato 'Brandywine' Melon 'Ogen' Radicchio '506 TT' Amaranthus 'Red Army'
Chris and Fiona discuss the highlights of the season, and what's keeping them busy on the plot, including planting bulbs, looking after dahlias and sowing microgreens for indoor crops. Fiona shares her tips for making and using chilli oil, including a rather strange combination of peanut butter and chilli oil on toast – if you've tried it let us know your verdict! Chris chats to Stephanie Slater, Founder and CEO of charity School Food Matters. We hear Stephanie's inspiration behind setting up the charity, the fantastic outcomes they've already achieved, and what they plan for the future to connect school children to the food they eat. “I have the easiest Chief Exec job around, I go to people and I say: Is it a good idea to serve children fabulous tasty nutritious food, yes or no? Is it a good idea that we expose children to the joys of outdoor learning and learning to grow their own food and become skilled individuals and skilled adults? There aren't many people who are going to say no." Finally, Anton and Chris answer listener questions, including splitting tomatoes, green manures for No Dig growers and organic options for playing field maintenance.

This week, I'm speaking to co-founder of Roots Allotments Ed Morrison. Along with Christian, Will & Josh, Ed set up Roots Allotments on a site in Bath as an alternative to traditional allotments with their long waiting lists, large and often difficult to manage plots and set up a low carbon footprint, no dig and wildlife-friendly site where people could lease some space and join the grow your own food movement. Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Harvestmen What We Talk About How Roots Allotments came about How they are different to conventional allotments The costs of a plot, waiting lists, term of lease, facilities and support offered What can be grown on a Roots Allotment?

This week, making his second appearance on the podcast, is my guest Charles Dowding. Charles is the leading proponent worldwide of No Dig gardening. He's authored and co-authored many books and articles on the subject, including his latest book No Dig which is the result of 40 years experience and looks set to become the definitive text on the subject. He produces enough food to sell to local restaurants and inhabitants, to feed all his course attendees and visitors and also his own household from his plot which until recently has only been a quarter of an acre in size, proving categorically that no-dig equals maximum productivity. He is a prolific generator of media content, his YouTube channel has over 55 million views and he's bought the no-dig technique to a worldwide audience. Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Spider silk What We Talk About How Charles got started out in gardening Why do we need compost for no-dig and is it essential to create our own? No dig techniques on different types of soils Giving the beds a year off (or not) and crop rotation No-dig and plant pests and diseases Why every last gardener in the UK hasn't adopted no-dig! About Charles Dowding Charles Dowding is the leading proponent of no-dig gardening. Not only does he have a huge following, but his advice is born out of more than 40 years of growing, analysing, comparing, and recommending. He has been growing veg since 1981, having gardened in four different locations and grown hundreds of thousands of crops. Charles currently gardens his modestly sized plot Homeacres, in Somerset, from which he produces enough food to sell to local restaurants and inhabitants, to feed all his course attendees and visitors and also his own household. He is a prolific generator of media content and has bought the no-dig technique to a worldwide audience.

Would you eat veg with soil on it? But what if it was potentially healthier for you and the planet?According to the UN's FAO, over 90% of the Earth's soil could be degraded by 2050. There are several reasons but “conventional farming” that uses chemicals (e.g. pesticides), machinery and other modern techniques is potentially adding to the problem.So what's the solution? Is organic farming (using no pesticides) enough?Charles Dowding, this week's podcast guest, is an unsung hero of progressive farming. An author, YouTuber and NO DIG pioneer, Charles started his experimentation with NO DIG back in 1982 and the results were amazing. From the wonderful harvest and reduction in weeds; to the improvement in retention of health within the food he grew, Charles realised he had hit on something special!Since then Charles has been sharing his findings about the benefits of NO DIG and the movement is catching on! Within our own 4-acre farm we also practice the method of NO DIG: we are new to farming in this capacity and so far we are getting so much joy from it.“Through my experience, I've become more and more aware of how soil works, through not working it! I've increased my understanding of biodiversity and the need to keep carbon in the soil. Digging, and any form of soil exposure, releases CO2 into the atmosphere. No dig keeps carbon locked in the soil, and carbon in many forms is the building block of soil structure and food.”We absolutely loved this episode. We hope you dig it, too!Lots of Love,Dave & SteveTo find out more about Charles and the NO DIG movement visit his site: https://charlesdowding.co.uk/Produced By Sean Cahill and Sara Fawsitt See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
