If ever there was vindication of Dowdings theories, here it was. The leaves seemed to burst from the ground, glossy and exuberant.

Bunny Guinness Sunday Telegraph Charles Dowding is my hero: his no-dig approach to growing has saved me hours of back-breaking work and improved my techniques no end. His tried and tested advice has been proven from years of successful veg production and its easy to see from the health and vitality of his plants that htis approach really works. Guardian Gardening blog I found The Vegetable Course a really good read and enjoyable as well. The content has answered so many questions we had as we started plotting, both text and illustrations. In addition I think the publishers did a very good job on the book. The binding works well at the plot, on the sofa and in bed. I do dislike those books that jump out of your hands as youre reading them. Yours behaves itself brilliantly. That the font is readable and the pictures well reproduced makes it a real pleasure. Thank you. Ken Bird, reader A book for all growers, who will find easier, more productive ways to grow vegetables all the year round within.
