No Dig Organic Home & Garden 2017

The Diary was a finalist in the Practical Books category.

No Dig Organic Home and Garden has been receiving so many compliments and has been reprinted twice so far..

Setting up a no dig garden:

• make compost and enrich soil
• learn skills you need to sow and grow annual and perennial veg
• harvest and prepare food year round
• make natural cosmetics, cleaning products and garden preparations

These approaches work as well in small spaces as in large gardens. The Authors’ combined experience gives you ways of growing, preparing and storing the plants you grow for many uses, including delicious vegetable feasts and many recipes and ideas for increasing self reliance, saving money, living sustainably and enjoying the pleasure of growing your own food, year round.

Advice in the diary section is linked to each week of the season:

• sow seed at the best moment – seeds neither fail in cold nor start too late
• sowing and planting methods, plus raising plants at home
• the advantages of no dig, for less time needed
• maintain control of weeds through timely mulching and hoeing
• how to feed soil, for strong and healthy growth, more easily
• when and how to make all the harvests, with advice on storing produce

This is a garden companion of seasonal prompts, and then your own additions in the any year format (no days of the week), all in the context of precise information about how to grow great vegetables.

Three quarters of the pages are gardening advice, one quarter is diary space.
