How to Create a New Vegetable Garden

In this book I distil 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.  The methodical advice is a great starting point for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

The book takes you step-by-step through:

  • Clearing the ground
  • Mulch – what, why, how?
  • Minimizing digging
  • Sowing and planting across the seasons
  • Growing in polytunnels and greenhouses

This book carries much of Charles’s personality with it:
he is meticulous, open and frank in communicating pros and cons, and thorough, rigorous and entertaining.

Just to say I LOVE your latest book. I’ve always appreciated the number of photos and simple explanations you use but this one, maybe because I’m a no dig mulcher from way back, ticked all the boxes for me!

    What I like about Charles’ style of writing is the informality, the positivity and the diary style writing. This book is one I refer to time and time again to read about what he’s trialled and tested, and the results he had from these trials. This doesn’t just have to be for vegetables of course, but for any planting, any style of garden. Anyone who has worked in health (like me) and had to read endless clinical trial reports or medical journal articles, will appreciate his enormous effort in setting up these trials, some which last years, and then writing up the results. Excellent scholarly research as well as practical advice and so fun to read!
