The UK’s leading no-dig gardening expert, Charles Dowding, draws on his years of experience to show how easy it is to start a new vegetable garden.

Any plot - whether a building site, overgrown with weeds or unwanted lawn - can be turned into a beautiful and productive vegetable area. Charles's no-nonsense and straightforward advice is the perfect starting point for the beginner or experienced gardener.

The book takes you step-by-step through everything - from planning, clearing the ground and the early stages of starting a vegetable garden, to growing in polytunnels and greenhouses. There is also helpful guidance on how to use mulch, ways to minimise digging, and planting/sowing tips across the seasons.

Filled with labour-saving ideas and the techniques that Charles uses to garden so successfully, How to Create a Vegetable Garden is illustrated throughout with photos and tales from Charles's first year in his new vegetable garden.

Charles Dowding is a veteran organic grower and has written several books on vegetable gardening. He contributes articles to numerous magazines, including Gardeners’ World, Gardens Illustrated and Grow It!, and gives regular talks and courses. Charles is an internationally recognised organic gardening expert and frequently appears on radio and television, including BBC Radio 4’s The Long View and BBC’s Gardeners’ World.
