His approach sometimes diverges from the mainstream because he assays and develop new or lesser-known methods, for easier and better results. Skills for Growing illustrates how you create planting plans and advises on succession and rotation, interplanting and multisowing, how to propagate plants and quick ways to set them in the ground. It gives detailed information on spacing, harvesting methods and timings, watering, and using covers for both warmth and pest protection. Dowding describes the skills needed for successful winter gardening, growing in containers and growing perennial vegetables and herbs. The advice given in the book is based on having a clean and fertile area in which to grow vegetables. It may not be large, but that is fine: there are examples of how much food you can grow every year in just one bed, and in containers too. The book comprises 18 chapters, grouped into 6 parts. Each chapter is illustrated with captioned, full-colour photographs from Dowdings garden in Southwest UK.

Review "Skills for Growing is overflowing with advice and instructions based on years worth of detailed data gathering and observation. It is vibrantly illustrated with images of the crops he grows at his market garden Homeacres, which are refreshingly unromantic and so genuinely complementary to the written guidance, making this a feast for both the brain and eyes."--Claire Ratinon, Gardens Illustrated Review Quote "Skills for Growing is overflowing with advice and instructions based on years worth of detailed data gathering and observation.
