No Dig: feed the soil not the plants for many, easier harvests and few weeds

- After 11 months of no feeds or fertilisers, see the fine growth of Homeacres vegetables, many planted in summer after clearing first harvests, and no compost or other food added. In undisturbed and mulched soil, organisms manage resources better plus plants root more easily, as you see here.

I am convinced that this is the way I want to convert my garden and I think this video may one of the best ones to show my husband. He’s very old school and wants to till up the whole garden every spring, which this year made me cringe to watch him destroy the soil structure. It’s baby steps with him…thank you for giving me the confidence and motivation to show him a better way!!
Good luck with that. This method makes sense, and old teachings have ignored the part about soil life
You're a good human. We need people like yourself. Thanks for another lesson.
I saw the term "no dig" two days ago for the first time. A thought arose to look into it sometime. I just ran into your channel and it's quite a revelation for me really. I will start a new vegetable garden next year and I'm not so scared of all this digging I usually forced myself to.
I'm sure the comment section here is full of appreciation but I just leave one more piece of it because you really deserve it.
Thank you for this great resource.
Ah that is nice, thanks Benjamin and I wish you success
I use no-dig and find it works very well. It's worth pointing out that, if you have foxes, the cubs will very enthusiastically dig down in a bed to get to manure. Creating beds in early autumn (possibly late summer) onwards is fine, but if you're adding manure to anything in spring, some protection may be needed. I use chicken wire pegged down or hooked over screws on the outside of edging planks. You can also insert short lengths of cane in the soil. Or both...😊
Thanks for these tips
Love your side by side demos and explanation of how the no dig method supports the garden and is easier on the gardener. Thank you
Just listening to you and looking at the beautiful vegetables that you're growing gives me a happy feeling and a determination to give it a go on all my patches of vegies. Thanks Charles love it.
You are like part of the living earth teaching us what it needs. 😍🙏🙌🏻
i love his voice, so calming, always put me to sleep when I struggle from sleep deprivation.
thank you for teaching me the no dig method My son was diagnosed with cancer and wanting to help him for the best possible recovery I need to go organic we have both seen a dramatic improvement from eating healthier
your no dig garden has truly blessed our lives in giving us the nutrients and minerals in our foods that we need to live a healthier and more productive life thank you for being a great teacher and it is so greatly appreciated and I wanted you to know that
Sincerely
Karen. 🌿🌷🍂🥦🥒🍓🌿
Karen I am so sorry to hear of his cancer and so pleased that you have found a way to help heal him with growing great food, thanks for sharing and I hope others feel encouraged too, and empowered to take healing into your own hands!
Hi Charles greetings from Pennsylvania USA. I am starting to get some of my “back 40” ready for a large flower garden next year. I’ve been layering newspapers and cardboard and compost to build up the soil. I love your no dig approach and think it’s so much healthier for a garden. In my other gardens I lay down thick layers of leaves in the fall and till them under in the early spring. So far so good, however I am very excited to try the no till. Thank you for all of these informative videos! You are fun to watch!
Cheers Nancy and sell the tiller!
I left compost to rot for 8 months . Now my soil is full of worms and life. The best no dig / plow gardening technique ever. Thank you Charles! Greeting from Bulgaria
Thanks, good to hear such nice news Sam
Charles Dowding No thank you. You saved me loads of time and money. Thank you for your teachings and explanation.
Even though I am on an extremely rocky acidic soil, your method transformed my ground.
Many blessings and thanks to you sir!
@@samnikole1643 Does the bed height raises every year by adding 5 cm or more compost to the top ? I just can not imagine how raised will be my bed after like 5 years. How it works actually ? :)
@@pavelhajduk4559 The compost that you apply on your garden each year continues to break down. Charles simply fills his planters to the top of the wood bed edging. Not every year is 5cm, and some are more. It just depends on how much breaks down in any given year.
@@pavelhajduk4559 this was what came to mind for me as the garden beds here are somewhat raised alongside our footpath. But then 5 cm of added soil yearly isn't much at all.
Thank you so much, Charles! I've been trying to convince my son to stop tilling up his garden every year, so hopefully if I share this with him the message will get through!
Were you successful in it? Thanks!
60 years of topsoil left. The thin layer that the vast majority of terrestrial species depend upon. It's a disaster of epic proportions in the making, on the scale of global warming. Your video should be compulsory viewing for farmers and agricultural tutors.
National Geographic had an article about mycorrhizal networks and how trees communicate and share resources. Love it! I tend to leave weeds alone, unless they are invasive. I think any roots are good roots. Roots bind and open up the soil, as well as entering into symbiotic relationships with microorganisms, animals and fungi.
Let's all love our topsoil. It's more valuable than gold.
OMG the sky is falling the sky is falling.. bs conspiracy garbage
@Somers Farm I think the biggest problem lay with human infrastructures, since on concrete and asphalt on walls and roofs there can not grow any plants. Therein is the biggest treat, because its plant life that regulate climate, moister and cleans the air that we breathe. Unless humankind finds a way to integrate nature onto and into its infrastructures, greening it up. If not.... the future looks bleak for us as a species.
@Somers Farm I live north of the Netherlands where there is quite some agriculture still in this small overcrowded shitty little country, and your right, I talked to a farmer and he said its very hard to switch to organic. As for the climate myth, well to be honest there always had been warm and cold periods as you look back over millions of years that is just a fact. Even north and south poles were on a different spot on this world and switched many times, there used to be a time that where the poles are now it was even a tropical paradise long long ago. Due to fossils that can be found there from animals and plants that now live in the amazon today.
Anyways I do agree they try to blame it all on the farmers use it against us, they try to get them out of business and off the lands so they can built even more shit than now. And they want to shove us into tiny apartments, like chickens into a small chicken coop. Cutting us off from mother nature and father god, while we live in a over crowed cities working like slaves for the most basic needs in life while we waist our free time away plucked into a virtual reality shit. Not creating anything creative for ourselves anymore.
Its indeed a war on farmers, just think of the meat that they try to grow into petri dish, that they want to shove down our throats in the future. They want to take everything away from us that make life enjoyable.... mark my words.
@@theCUBE403 The soil has been depleted. Its been estimated that if we continue farming using monoculture farming methods we will have 60 more harvests left. Then the soil will be so depleted of nutrients it will be barren.
@Somers Farm Youre silly. You contradict yourself. You admittedly say that cutting down trees is a problem, and yet you conveniently leave out "farming land" in your list of tree cutting expenditures. Making space for more farm land is one of the biggest causes for tree cutting. As far as "farting cows", yes they are a problem, directly tied into your "tree cutting" admission. Cows are heavy consumers, requiring a lot of food and water to grow.
I love to eat meat, but pretending that there is no environmental impact in that choice is a problem that will lead to more problems. We need to admit that its an issue so that we can have sustainable practices. We don't need to eat 2lbs of beef a day every day of the week. We don't need to overproduce, overconsume, and waste a third of our food, which is what much of the world, especially America, does. And even if you want to pretend climate issues are nonexistent, then at least improve for the sake of improvement. Farming is hard work. Transporting food is hard work. Stocking shelves at grocery stores is hard work. Lets not wastefully do it.
Wonderful video! One of my favorites of yours so far. You are a 💎 in the UA-cam gardening world.
Thanks Ben
I must 2nd your comment Ben, I am just blown away by everything I learn from Charles!! I’m considering taking one of his workshops on site. Airline ticket RT from Omaha NE to Bristol is a reasonable $715!! 😊

Thanks I am honoured to be compared with him
As always, feel like I've been to Garden University 101. Thank you!!!!
Thankyou Cindy for such a cheerful comment
Oh! What a soft voice is this. I can listen to him all my life. Also, thank you for the good explanation!
Thankyou Pelin!
I can't wait to try your methods! I have raised a vegetable garden in WA state, USA on the Idaho border and have had good and bad experiences. This year we have had snow, which is not usual for this area, so I am starting a bit late, but am very optomistic about the outcome this year. Thank you for making these videos public so that anyone can learn from you!
Much Appreciated. Deb :)
Thanks Deb and happy cropping
As an intern in the master garden program I am trying to spread the word of no dig. I do get the look, you know like, I'm crazy or that wont work.
Whoever says that to you is not up to speed. For example the RHS are making the new Edibles Garden at Wisely one third no dig in 2019, and half of their student plots too.
The head gardener Jonny Norton of Mottisfont Abbey near Romsey, Hants booked me to run a training day for any National Trust gardeners who are interested to learn more about no dig. The uptake was large, 30 gardeners for all over S England and the Midlands. Many are older gardeners, attracted to the common sense of no dig, and above all by how it saves time.For example we were shown a parterre where no dig mulching has resulted in a massive reduction of oxalis and celandine tubers, which previously had been dug and double dug, but kept growing back.No dig is happening all over the world now and I receive so much positive, happy feedback.And it's good for keeping carbon in the soil!
No dig opens up gardening to people who thought they needed to have a tiller or thought it was just too much shovel work. You just need compost and desire. Thanks for all you do Charles.
@@cyndiewilley4093 'Compost and Desire', you should copyright that! Can I borrow it?
I have been trying no dig for 5 months and so far so good
Thank you so very much for all your grand content, you have really helped this garden evolve and so has my land-caretaker abilities.
All the best from down under.
Thanks Alexandra, good to hear
Fantastic advice from a very nice guy. Thank you.
The way you explain, started to make sense. Thanks for sharing .
Glorious gardens with the most beautiful compost buildings. Listening to you I become educated and soothed at the same time
Love this!! I live in California and so wood chip mulch works to keep in the moisture during the long, hot growing season. I do have trouble with slugs in the early spring. Also, it’s difficult to plant tiny seeds as the mulch falls on top of my plantings. I will be seeding under cover and setting out starts to help avoid the slugs, critters, and re-plantings. I could never go back to bare dirt gardening. Mulch gardening is so much easier and beneficial in the long run.
Thanks for sharing your experience Arminda, I like your phrase "bare dirt gardening", very apt.
Setting out starts is a good plan.
You are changing the world @CharlesDowding . I think when researched ( no dig / food forest etc ) heavily it could work in Africa. We are Farmers ! We don’t have the proper Educational Knowledge to improve soil & innovative crop growing technology.
Thanks this is nice to see. You are so right and something else is that farmers are often reluctant to adopt new methods so it's a bit of a process needed for change to happen. Good luck with sharing these great ideas, adapted for the different conditions and climate
@@CharlesDowding1nodig We run a small non profit foundation in Oregon ( I am originally from Gambia & Senegal ) and are planning to launch a Community Garden to work with youths & women clubs. Will love to stay & keep in touch .
@@ElimanGibba yes do!
Definitely a positive method on so many different levels. The lesser labor being the top one ☝️!
So glad I found your channel.
You so easy to listen to
you re such a great legend man not only a great grower! an insiration for me! i wish i could shake your hand one day! all my respect❤🌍🙏🌱
Thankyou Daniele, perhaps we shall meet
I dug my garden once as it was really just a pile of rubble and I had to get rid of all the rocks and plaster in it. That was 5 years ago. I put compost on it in Autumn, grow mustard as a cover crop, chop and drop it and then cover the lot with a thick mulch of leaves. This builds up the soil really nicely. No fertiliser, no pesticides. I add a little compost when I sow and grow another cover crop in summer. The result? A thriving vegetable garden in Andalusia...
Lovely work Carl and in a dry climate too.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig - Thank you, Charles. I've found that the best times for growing here are autumn, over winter and spring. Summer is just way too hot! OK for toms and peppers, but little else.
It’s my first time seeing this channel and when he pulled out the compost thermometer I was like OK HES REALLY INTO IT
It's true Joanna, and thanks 😀
i love people who just like run experiments in their garden for curiosity; these are my people!
I think this video really shows us as well that you can sow seeds in late August. I need to get some coffee grounds again!
Fantastic gardening, the results speak for themselves. I am the laziest Gardner I know. This is perfect for me.Its too bad the people I deal with always think that if you do not sweat you did not really plant??? So strange they do not choose the science behind the results.
Thanks Patrizia, yes it's intriguing how the morality of "hard work" comes into these discussions :)
Thank you Charles for your beautiful videos, your channel is one of my favorites. I like the way to explain things.
Much love from Iraq
Thanks I am happy to hear this Quran, from so far away.
This is such an old way of gardening. for a long time, I would question my mother for gardening this way. Now that I've started my own garden, the benefits to NO DIG gardening is making sense. Thank you!
Nice to hear Tu Ho, your mother was wise!
Beautiful garden, beautiful crops, and a beautiful person(beautiful gardener) 👌👍😍🙏👏
Cheers Marius :)
I am, learning slowly and very grateful for your information and lovely smile also! I will watch a few more times just to take it all in as I learn one step at a time!
Nice comment Neil thanks
I love your videos. I think I'll watch them all
fantastic wisdom, especially about the fungi in the soil
Why make life complicated 'No dig"is the future💞 Thanks again Charles great video 🤗💓
Like it Charles, 👍 this year is my first No Dig! Last winter I followed your advice of a couple of inches well rotted farmyard manure! Spread over,
And so far in my small raised beds there are no weeds 👍and I don’t intend to use any other fertilisers !
I just hope I can grow veggies half as good as you do and I’ll be a very happy gardener! 🤞keep up the good that you do Charles.
Love your videos!
Sounds promising David thanks
Very inspirational. Thank you so much! I am trying to do no dig. First year.
How did it go?
My first year too! Can't wait for next year when fertility should be better. Good luck 👍
I am 58 years old and have purchased 9 acres. nearly 15 cows were grazing freely. i have been of the opinion that nature will provide if human beings do not disturb; the only requirement is he has to keep quiet. practically i have zero experience; only patient observation; am about to start mulching my field. what you have accomplished is gratifying and an encouragement.
I wish you the harvests you need Arun, it's an exciting journey ahead
Love your approach very much.
Как жаль,что я не владею английским языком! Но, даже без него,смотреть ролик одно удовольствие!👍😊👏
Спасибо, и мое следующее видео про сорняки будет с русскими субтитрами, мы вложили в это 😀
@@CharlesDowding1nodig я очень рада!!!😊
Heartfelt thanks for the wealth of clear and joyously presented information based on your years of experience. I'm not an experienced gardener; I've tried gardening off and on for 20 years, always organic, with wildly varying outcomes and giving up for several years at a time after poor outcomes I couldn't understand. I had a pretty good fat little corner garden in a small section of my larger gardening area this year and I intentionally did no tilling but didn't mulch as deeply as you recommend and the weeds really came back good and fat too; the larger garden area looks like cardboard Hell just now, and even after chasing pieces, weighting, and patching it for a year the dandelions keep sneaking back around cardboard corners. I'd gotten kind of stuck on what to do next. I stumbled across your UA-cam channel last week and got your beautifully organized Vegetable Diary and No Dig Organic Home & Garden books. Because of the information in them, I understand some of the basics now that I didn't know, some likely reasons for some of the "what happened?!" times, and understand that my best successes have come from intuitive trials. That's pretty encouraging! It's also helped me appreciate what I have a bit more and see what I can do with what I have in my yard as it is, right now. I've developed 3 clear goals for moving forward and I'll have my first whack at Autumn and Winter gardening! I'm going to mulch deeply (3 or more inches) in that back corner and keep growing in it, and I'm putting polythene down over the bigger cardboarded area til February. I'm also planning a do-it-yourself compost area design as I've always had crummy results from my black turning compost bin. I feel lucky the climate I live in is compatible with vegetable and growing season information presented; we are 8 or 8b in Portland, Oregon, and I had fun looking up words like "calabrese" and "swede", too! Thank you for being such a great communicator. I know people appreciate your soft-spoken delivery and it's clear you enjoy what you do. Thank you for being a powerful voice in dispelling a lot of gardening superstitions, now I can stand up to bullies, lol. Thank you for making it more fun. Congrats on the super quality of the videos, too! Thank you for providing valuable sustainable gardening information free to people on UA-cam. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Melanie I appreciate your comments a lot because I also have had to work my way through a fog of untrue advice.
SO it's lovely to know I can help others in a similar position. And as you say there are bullies out there who insist!
I wish you every success, and in January 2020 I plan a speaking tour starting Vancouver, then Seattle and southwards, nothing firm yet.
I started to read masanobu fukuoka and his method of not doing (wu wei) and now watch your videos and i can see for my own eyes that it really work. People dont believe me when i say that not dig is more efficient that thr convencional agriculture. No dig, no fertilizer and pesticides , a passive method but a method that is going to revolutionize modern agriculture. We are mere assistants of nature, she is the one that cultivated. I trust must in her than in human knowledge.
Thanks from Chile. 🐸
Nice to hear Luna 😀
Wow !!! The way you explain... I love it... Thanks :)
You are great 👍
Let it be known, No-dig takes the throne! Charles is neat and tidy, and his vegetables have come along nicely. Highest level. Woke.
Wow so poetic, not theoretic, thanks
I have started using chickens to do my composting. I start a pile of fresh green waste plus wood chips outside the chicken run and let it compost down a bit befor moving to a big compost pile in the chicken run. The chickens love it every now and then i have to reconstruct the pile. The compost that comes out is almost like sieved compost. I have bin making compost for years but never as good as the chickens do it. I call them my waste management team. all in about 3 to 4 months
Lovely to hear Adrian and what a great method
@@RachelAnn27 I'd be interested in that too.
This is awesome! I never want to dig because I absolutely hate killing earthworms. I have to dig some here because I have so much rocks in the soil, but once the rocks are up I'll never dig again!
8:05 mycorrhizae - the internet of the soil. What a wonderful metaphor. Thank you for that image.
Yes it's good and I only wish I knew who said it first!
There is so much information exchange happening in soil, right below our feet and we barely know.
Charles Dowding first time seeing your conversation and amazed by this fact, im gonna look more into it as I learn this basic skill of life ‘growing food’
I love how explanatory and informative this is! Keep up the good work! Greetings from the Netherlands
You have beautiful gardens. ☺
Presented lovingly! Great channel. Thanks for sharing the wisdom!
Thanks for this great video Mr Dowding, what a beautiful garden you've established there. I hope to eventually have one of the same standard someday
I just watched this one again. Great video. I'm going to try this in my 7 gal grow bags. I had mustard greens and just twisted them off and left the roots. I'll add the 5 centimeters of compost and plant them around the end of February.
That sounds fine Billy!
Great to see and learn about 2nd planting. Also interesting about myth of nitrogen. Thanks
Clear and concise, great info!
Always look forward to the latest no-dig video, the ongoing bed comparison experiment showing 5% difference is fascinating. A great update and overview on no-dig gardening. Mycorrhizal networks in forests are nicknamed the Wood Wide Web. Thanks as always.
Ah that is a good name! Many thanks
@Mark OnTheBlueRidge Absolutely! Waiting for my husband to rototill my garden each year before I can plant is always a frustrating experience haha. This way, I can do it all on my own. Very tempting to try it!
@@michelle7371 Oh my gosh....why wouldnt you???
@@michelle7371 haha I feel you, and exactly my thought. Hmm, I could just start now in patches by adding some compost & dropping in the seeds or transplanting a seedling.
Yep all about the soil and its complex relationship with plants.🎶🎶 No no you can’t take that away from them 🎶🎶
Wonderful overview of, Charles! I love the no-dig versus dig trial, and it was interesting to see the forked carrots from the dig bed. Your garden is beautiful, as always.
Beautiful way with the soil and plantings.
another lovely video love your compost bins
I've only ever heard or read that the reason to not add too much manure or nitrogen rich compost, because it would make the carrots woody or potatoes scabby ( & this was only reason seen given & it typically specified nitrogen rich, which i now have learned can be not a misunderstanding, may only apply to using chemical fertilizers ). Anywayd, I'm so thankful for your videos !!!
Thanks Angela and yes, the misunderstandings out there are just huge!
Thank you Charles for another wonderful and informative video, a lovely reference work to add to the collection.
Thanks Jerry
My role model. Thanks a million Mr Dowding for all your beautiful, passionate and informative videos on Gardening.
Well a pleasure Ernest, thankyou
Very informative, thank you for sharing. Your garden is amazing!
Once again thank you for your time spent showing how no dig works.
Great video Charles, now I feel like going into the garden and not digging!
What a wonderful learning video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. ☺🌱🍅
Inspirational, thank you Charles.
love your no dig garden. all your plants and veggies are magnificent..I'm very impressed . thank you for sharing !
What a brilliant video. Amazing illustration of the differences in growth with dig and no dig. Coming from a family of hopeless diggers (i'm trying to educate them by giving them all your book for Christmas) I' really excited to try out your methods. I'm a teacher and this year the digging coincided with a hideously busy period at work and meant i ran out of time for the actual planting in some cases. So I am absolutely excited to try starting no dig next year. I inherited from the vegetable garden from my Mum who passed away a couple of years ago. She always kept it looking brilliant and productive.Thanks for giving me hope that I may be able to not let her down next year. :-))
Thanks for your lovely and hopeful comment Elaine, great news and yes you can make your mother proud, not to mention your family, have fun with no dig.
Yes you taught me to feed my soil ecosystem. My crop is always high yield.
That is very good to hear, nice work
@@CharlesDowding1nodig Thank you very much, great teacher.
Very much enjoy your series and have begun gardening in back yard. Thank you. Excited to receive your books over the holidays.

Best joke ever :) :) :)
always inspirational, so clear and practical. great video
Thanks Lorenzo and for your feedback always
Gratitude love and care I learned that no dig is the better way. Love the class.
Thanks Fifi

Yikes already!
I know it's early, I thought you would probably like to be with your family and friends, why disturb then. Thanking God I did not wish New Year too
Talking of slugs! I've not seen any for years.Just started growing this year.What I have got is a small army of slow worms.10 or more."Neither slow or worms by the way"Happy days! I've been keeping an eye on them for years,now's their chance to help me,they been living in an old compost bin for maybe 10 yrs i've had to empty and move.Hope they like their new home. :)
Lovely to hear this Gary and I hope they continue to help you!
Awesome update thank you for sharing Charles and blessing
I really learned a lot from your videos, you reminds me with my grandfather, he was a great farmer
That's awesome Ahmed thanks
Fantastic video, just came across it. No dig is a great way forward in a great adventure in life called gardening. Thankyou Charles.
So interesting We must always think of our soil. .....
Full of helpful organisms
Charles you are just the most amazing knowledgeable man I have ever listened to. I live in Australia & am trying your no dig method on one of my raised garden beds so wish me luck. Cheers Denise Brady - Brisbane Australia
Thanks Denise and I wish you luck for sure!
Im handicapped so I can get down to the ground level. I add mycorrhizal fungi to my raised beds in Arizona. In zone 11 with intense heat I grow everything and my gardens perform wonderful. I only wish I knew about this 20 years ago. A lot of backbreaking digging and unnecessary weed picking time could of been saved. Thanks for sharing.
No Thank You. I have a 6mx4m plot at the back of the garden which I’ve put 11 raised bed made from free pallets. I make my own compost now and I’m in my 3rd year and incorporating the no dig methods for the last 2 years, I’ve noticed less weeds and better vegetables. Even next door who gets lots of veg from me each year says I’m doing well and he gives me lots of advice as he owned an allotment, but he don’t know the no dig method. When I told him about it he was skeptical but in his words I do better then his old allotment m8s.
This growing adventure started when I was a kid and my mum gave me a small garden of 1mx0.5m to grow some veg which I have done most of my life while living at home until I met a girl and moved in to a flat. Well that did not work out so I’m back home and my mums old now and she can not do gardening anymore so I’ve take oven and with UA-cam and a small space I’m saving us £££ each year on veg which is great, it’s quite a hobby and suited to me as I’m good with my hands and don’t mind getting dirty. Sorry for the rant but I find your Chanel inspirational. :)
Thanks for writing and your garden sounds great Michael.
As well as saving money you are growing health, and your neighbour is fortunate to receive such goodies.
Charles, you are the "David Attenborough" of gardening. I'm so inspired by you and your proven knowledge.
Black thumb, turning green... 😁
Wonderful news about your thumb, and thankyou
Those potatoes look so good, I'm going to make mashed potatoes right now.
The power of images! Enjoy your meal.
I will be experimenting with these techniques this spring. I can't wait.
Hi Charles my second time watching this video, I gave it a like on the first viewing but I must say a super video many thanks.

Awesome video.
I've discovered your channel juste a week ago. I'm in the south of France, and even if the problems are not the same (here it's too hot, too dry six months a Year at least) I feel that no dig and living soil IS the good answer. Blessings all over the gardens and the gardeners 🌱
Welcome aboard Anne, lovely to hear
That was very interesting all my 75 years I’ve been digging; after watching you I’ll never did again !!!Robert from Canonsburg Pa15317 😉🇺🇸❤️⚽️
Thanks Robert and lovely to hear!!
No dig means I can continue to garden as I get older! 😊❤️
Great
