New No Dig Area After 9 Months

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- New No Dig Area After 9 Months - see the results of using no dig methods to transform weedy pasture into an area full of vegetables. We started in February and this is November. Vegetables you see are second plantings after summer harvests, such as leeks following potatoes, and mustard after winter squash. The mustard is dual use cover crop (green manure), plus we cut plant tips for adding to the salad mixes I sell.
I show you also how we use black polythene as a temporary weed barrier, against bindweed mainly. We transplant through holes in it, then the polythene under the plant leaves saves so much time weeding. The rain can trickle into those holes and we rarely water - there is no irrigation system here.
The no dig book I show you at the end is based on my forty years of growing, and is available from us: charlesdowding...
In North America you can buy it from Chelsea Green www.chelseagre....
In addition we created an online course about No-Dig gardening and until 31st December 2021 you can buy it half price from my website charlesdowding...
See the August video from this area • No Dig New Area Summer... . We have made a video every two or three months since starting in February, filmed by Edward my son, using a gimbel.
Filmed and edited November 2021 by Alessandro or @SpicyMoustache whose excellent You Tube channel is about no dig gardening in urban London / spicymoustache

That shirt looks great on you.
Looks seriously productive for such a 'young' garden 🌱
😀 so agree
THAT CAMERA PICKED UP THOSE SPIES TRYING TO GET TRADE SECRETS !!!!!!!!
You should scriptwrite!
This guy, legend of gardening! Everywhere you look “Charles Dowding” every TH-camr mentions your name 🙌
Thanks for letting me know 😀 happy to hear it
@@CharlesDowding1nodig 😍
Beautiful information and quality video
the best gardener on youtube... cheers
We’ll call your garden, A Series of Fortunate Events 😋🙏
Love that thankyou!!
How lovely to see the wildlife you've picked up with that camera! 💟
Watching your videos makes my heart sing!!
How lovely, thanks Teresa
Beautiful. God bless you.
Thank you! 😊
Your gardens are so beautiful. I aspire to have such beautiful growth.
Hello Charles! Hace mucho tiempo que no veía tu canal. Por suerte encontré este vídeo con subtítulos y dije siiiiiii!!!!!!. Es que no entiendo el inglés!. Mi huerta ha ido creciendo. En intentado el no picar la tierra. Pero aquí la tierra es durísima. Se raja del calor y si no se la aliviana no hay caso. He probado tu método con la esperanza de no hacer tanto esfuerzo. Tengo 50 y mi cuerpo se cansa. Peeeero no. Es necesario empezar cavando. Luego si se puede ir poniendo compost. Gracias por los subtítulos. Estaré atenta a nuevos videos.
¡Hola Maria!
Estoy seguro de que el abono en la parte superior funcionará mejor porque luego protege el suelo de abajo para que no se seque ni se agriete. Tal vez intente con un poco más solo en un área pequeña, para ver cómo funciona.
Estamos comprando subtítulos en español para todos los videos ahora.
WE'RE GLAD THE BEES ARE HELPING OUT BY GETTING AERIAL SHOTS !!!!!!!! THANKS BEES !!!!!!!!!!!
Such a cool comment!
Yetiştirdiğiniz mahsullere hayranım çok başarısınız 👏
Teşekkür ederim ve senin de aynısını yapmanı dilerim, yapabilirsin 💚
Big like nice sharing 👌 👍
great video love your new area and shed great
Morning Charles, simply have to say your the best gardening channel I know. I always like to look at how clean and orderly your beds are. You set the standard pretty high. I’ve recommended your channel to many of my church friends as we are most all of us vegetarians with gardens and Seventh Day Adventist. God bless you my friend and thanks for always sharing and teaching. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Thank you Steve and how amazing! We recently gave some teaching help to a group of Seventh-day Adventist gardeners in Milo, Oregon
Go SDA and charles' channel! 😁
How neat! I’m a Seventh Day Adventist too :)
Wartościowy z Pana człowiek, tyle się nauczyłam. Dziękuję.
Pond that's exciting
I like how this series is helpful for beginners
Vote for nodig pond. #1 Make a great nodig pond!!!
It could be shallow :)

Love it!!! One day i gonna have a contry house and do this becouse i had a great teacher (you)😊, thank you so much, 🙏...a big hello from Portugal 🇵🇹
Ah cool, good luck with manifesting it
Доброго времени суток Вашей семье! Здравствуйте Чарльз! Завороженно просмотрела ролик! Какие красивые растения на Ваших грядках! Глаз не оторвать! Видно,что они всем довольны! Все виды капусты яркого здорового и сочного цвета,а монгольд!…Он просто шикарен! Заболела компостом!. Раньше делали понемногу, но в основном,вся органика собиралась в кучи и затем сжигалась. Ох, как зря!!! В следующем сезоне, будем живы,такой ошибки не повторю! Каждую травинку и былинку в компост! Как раз поспеет к тому времени, когда закончится купленный наконуне навоз. Спасибо,Чарльз! Здоровья и благополучия Вам и вашим близким!
Спасибо, и я желаю вам всяческих успехов в создании великолепного компоста и последующем выращивании супер здоровых растений. 💚
Imagine nibbling on a fresh carrot, having a cup of coffee and enjoying the view of the pond 🙏❤️
Yup.
Can imagine it!
Super podziwiam ogrod i pana prace .
Dziękuję bardzo dn życzę szczęśliwego ogrodnictwa!
Early congrats on 500,000 subs
Well deserved
😀
Thank you for doing what you’re doing.
As you have said you don’t make a fortune out of your garden, after so much work and expertise employed!
Can’t say how much amateurs like me appreciate what you give to us😇
THANK YOU SO MUCH
😇👍❤️
Thanks for that Don
If nothing else, your 'shed' is just a lovely place to sit, and enjoy the fruits of your labour. I love the drone footage going on. It gives great perspective of where everything is, that sometimes you just can't get from the ground, and I'm really hoping you do a time-lapse from breaking ground on the pond, to when it's established. I know it will take some time to do, but I think it will be worth it xx
00p
Thanks for this idea Suzanne. Yes I need to sit more...!
The lessons, the lessons we learn! Great to see how, within a year, a field has been turned into a garden - gives us mere mortals hope!!👍😁
Beautiful place and beautiful garden ❤❤❤❤👏👏👌👌👌👌
Thanks for visiting
Thank you! As someone who has retired to pursue growing food you've been instrumental in my no-dig gardening!
Glad to help Paul!
Build a little wildlife garden Charles you will benefit in so many ways and so will the local wildlife 🦊🦤🦟🐝🐞
My garden is that already, especially in the soil. We have plans too!
@@CharlesDowding1nodig yes I understand but I mean a small dedicated little patch of wildflowers just for nature
Big thanks to you. I started my own no dig with cardboard and I also garden for others and use cardboard to suffocate the worst weeds.
Fantastic!
Сенк, за субтитры на русском! Всегда было интересно увидеть, как ведут свои огородные дела за рубежом. Кое-что взяла для себя. Спасибо. До встреч )
Круто, это здорово!
Love the updates, the drone view looks like your in a quaint village. That shed, throw an air conditioner in a window and cot for sleeping, I'd stay there to be a helping hand. Slugs...I didn't have big ones this year, honestly I don't really have them bad at all, but I started feeding the cats outside on the porch and I had really small ones come and eat that. Maybe some cat food out away from the garden might be more appetizing.??
Thanks Wende!
is charles hinting at a gardening podcast with the new chalet lol , lovely backdrop hope to see it in future videos.
If I had more time, feel better to invest in videos
I just got my first allotment, I'm so excited to get down there to get it sorted! Definitely going to use no dig in the main areas, got to re plan it first. Already some fruit bushes and asparagus. Good start. 👍
That sounds exciting, good luck!
The new land is coming along nicely.
That top-down drone footage of the property is amazing.
Greetings from Ireland. This spring I will start my second year of no dig, I started with an abandoned patch of weeds and it's already provided so much food and enjoyment after only one growing season. I can't wait for next Spring! Charles, your chanel has been an absolute inspiration!! Thank you !! 👌👌
Lovely to hear this John!
vườn cây lên tốt quá ạ
Love and enjoy that life💓
💚
Sounds like you've been down the Elaine Ingham rabbit hole like I have...I even got a microscope to check for microbes etc. It's really interesting! And I'm also trying to have live roots in the soil all the time. This was a really interesting video - nice cutaways too, Mr Editor!
Charles has been doing no dig since before the internet was invented. They talk a lot about the same things, but I'd encourage you to go back to older videos from Charles. He's the real rabbit hole to go into, and I think he gives much better, more practical advice than Ingham.
Thanks. She is scientist more than farmer is true
@@adamt195 I think I've watched every video he's ever made - three times... It's just that I've also watched lots of Dr Elaine Ingham (and other) videos lately too. They're all about soil biology with some serious scientific info supporting the techniques used in no-dig gardening. Charles Dowding talks about some of this (microbial life, live roots, nutrient cycling etc) in this one...
In my new plot of land I did some digging to get the mint roots out but It's largely covered with cardboard and compost and some with horse manure. Besides the garlic I planted broad beans as cover crop. See how that goes. Come spring I will pull them anyway to add to my compost
Edit: i see you have a video on exact that.
Good production by Spicy Moustache. I’ve noticed no low frame rate cutaways.
My only feedback is that it’s a shame to lose your purple branding with the formal typeface. Feels more appropriate than the more “urban” typeface used in this video. Also, the use of stock footage isn’t nice. It reduces the production value of the video and makes it look more amateur. Do you ever see stock footage on Gardeners World for example?
Hope that helps!
Agreed 100%, I noticed the same! But don’t take this as a complaint at all, I’d say we’ll take as much Charles Dowding as we can get, no matter the typeface.
Ps Spicy Moustache I’ve also started enjoying your channel. Well done.
@@ednace455 Agreed. Not a complaint, hoping its useful feedback. I've been a Spicy Moustache subscriber for a long time. Love it!
Thanks and it is great feedback, constructive and we need that.
I'm discussing it with him this weekend.
I just placed my Preorder for your new book with Chelsea Green Publishing. I live in Northeast Arkansas US. I had read your last book cover to cover and had joked that I went to bed with you every night. Lol
Well our home was destroyed by a tornado last August and unfortunately lost my book to the storm. So I'm so excited to be receiving a new one when it arrives hopefully next month. You are such a wonderful teacher of the no dig method. I thank you very much for your hard work bright shinning light in what can sometimes seem very dim in our world today. As always best regards. God is Good.
Ah wow Jenny! Happy to help.
Yes we need Light and healthy food is a big part of the path.
All those pedigreed TV channel video editors/producers could learn a thing or three from Mr. Edward there, couldn't they? Very well done video. So glad you got the back lot there, Charles, thanks for keeping us up-to-date on your use of it! Beware the Were-Rabbit (W&G fan :- )
Yes I like W&G. Editing here by @spicymoustache!
Good Man nice garden i need this bless you.
Hola esperaré sus nuevos proyectos, nos inspiran a seguir cultivando y ver c la belleza de su huerta.
Gracias Claudia
Love your No Dig sign in the garden! Love your No Dig book. Love your videos. Love to garden. Love the results of no dig. I'm a happy woman.
Haha that is great Mary
Looking very good Charles, it’s coming on nicely now! And it’s good to see you sitting down for once and on that nice verandah! Somewhere to sit and watch the sun disappear over the horizon on a summers evening with a nice cold beer or glass of wine! Looking forward to the next episode! 👍Happy Christmas to you, your family and work force! 👍
Thanks so much David!
Charles, would you ever make a video about the business side of market gardening? Perhaps discuss what is possible for revenue across different scales and production intensity. Love the content, thank you.
Thanks Nicholas, maybe but do see Harvests, summer 2019 video, is a lot about this
@@CharlesDowding1nodig I will check that out! thank you
Hi Charles it is always a pleasure to enjoy your videos. The health of the NoDig compost is reflected in your health. This is the best proof that NoDig compost is a healthy choice in our vegetable garden. Thank you and have a nice December month.
Thanks so much Robert
I am enjoying the information, as always, in this video. I am finding the new editing a bit quick and shaky, but that might just be me! :)
Working on it! his style is different, see new video next weekend
What you achieved in such a short time is not impressive... it'miraculous!
Ah thanks. When we cooperate with natural forces 💚
Stay happy and healthy, dear brother Charles ! I really appreciate your work, humble being, and inspiring sharings from the gardens.
💚
I am amaze to your garden!! Its my dream to see those plant that we don’t have here in our country! I love planting!! Very very nice!!
Thankyou
It is so encouraging to hear you say you have no plans and are just going along with what what you have. Thank you for showing us the many possibilities with no dig gardens. Just wonderful listening to you describe the successes and learning through "failures",and producing such beauty.
You can do it too! Thanks Cherie.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig thank you so much! I love gardening and do best I can. Even when things go very wrong, it is time well spent in the garden.
Please show the pond build!
Great channel 👏 adding one of you books to my Christmas list 😀
Thanks William
I love the shed, the bees and your books.
Thanks so much Lisa
Thanks Charles. There was a really funny scene @ 7.00 where you showed the beetroots, next to you and the scale made them look enourmous, I nearly fell off my chair.
Hah! I saw it the same way!
😜 they are big! :)
Nice
It all looks great. For not having a real plan when you started, it has all come together and progressed very nicely Mr. Charles. Well done Sir.
That's the plan!! 😀 thanks
Gidday Charles from New Zealand, we transformed our front yard lawn ( 2inches soil/grass)on a very ROCKY subsoil here over the past year to form 10 ten metre long beds 30inches wide using your no dig method and so far this spring its been simply amazing the results from compost added to the surface. We are having a vege garden tour with about 15-20 like minded people from our local community to pass on this knowledge tomorrow, showing them how easy it is to do the same. We are also starting to sell some excess produce to people in our local area and in the process forming much needed personal relationships and building community at the same time in these trying times. Our copy of your older no dig book will take pride of place on the book table! My wife and I can't thank you enough! Sending you and your family compliments of the season. Cheers Mike and Lynette
Hello Mike and Lynette, this is so cool and thanks for your lovely feedback which also is particularly reassuring in these times, which as you say are not ideal!
It's a lovely thought to imagine you having your open day tomorrow and I hope many people copy what they see 🌈
That certainly is a beautiful 'shed'.
I always find motivation hard to come by when it doesn't get light until 8:30 & is dark again before 4pm but watching your videos generates a desire to get outside (weather permitting here in Cumbria...) & DO something useful, even if it's just getting the first lot of compost spread.
Keep them coming Charles.
Oh & I'll be adding a couple more of your books to my collection as Christmas presents (I'll wrap them up for Mum to give to me - at nearly 92 she's a bit past going shopping for presents...).
Thanks, happy to inspire you and your shopping is well organised!
I just love the chalet shed it sits so well in the garden which is looking super when you watch through the sky. Hope you have a very happy Christmas stay safe and well through winter.
Thank you. And you too!
Nice
I bought a little farm in South of Brasil and i am lovin!!!
So happy you did that!
Dear Charles, thanks for the update, everything looks wonderful, and it's really lovely to watch what's going on. After years of having traditional dug allotments, my partner and I started ours in January this year on a new, to us, allotment in our new town and started out with no dig on a plot that had been left for 8 years! I LOVE no dig, for so many reasons, like not having to dig much (the parsnips are a pig though), way fewer weeds (we are hoping we've weakened the bindweed this year!!), and the veg being so much more healthy and strong (so far fewer pest problems because the plants are stronger). My mental health has suffered through the past year but my allotment has given me so much joy and a large part of that is how you've shown me this way of gardening. A massive thank you
How wonderful, I'm delighted to have been able to help :) and yes mental strength comes from healthy microbes like tryptophan which enables synthesis of serotonin in the brain, feel good mood factor
Excellent as always Charles! Looking forward to see what happens with that Rye crop! I'm wanting to have a go at some grain myself.
Fingers crossed because it's not looking very strong. I wonder if it was not such fresh grain/seed and I look forward to doing better next year, but hope I'm surprised!
Edward has been practicing After Effects, hasn't he? Nice intro!
Ah no! This is @spicymoustache
Morgen Charles,
deine Videos zu sehen, motivieren mich immer wieder nicht aufzugeben.
Lg aus der Eifel
Ist gut!
Rabbit and venison stew on the cards I think.
No dig is the way to go for me. You are right about perennial weeds Charles, I find Dock is the worst for me, but the fields around are full of it. Constant battle! I appreciate all your advice. Thankyou! My allotment will be in its third year after Xmas.
Well done Jenny and am sure you can eliminate dock
Well done Charles and Crew x
What a treat to find your videos! Last year I was do overwhelmed with details, details and more details I was nearly paralyzed with worry of doing something "wrong". I grew most of my veggies in buckets but I'm switching to no dig and am SO EXCITED to get started. Thank you for the simplification of it all!
You are so welcome and I'm delighted you see the simplicity
beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻
Charles, congratulations, it's quite amazing to see the progress! I adore those radicchios!
Thanks. And so right Mette, they are ultra tasty
Great work Charles! Like the new building and all the plants as my garden year is ending!
At the beginning of this year i ran out of cash :( so couldn't build my nice big raised bed like I planned. So I had cardboard and lots of bags of compost. So all I did was lay the cardboard down then the cardboard ontop and started planting I did so well with my pumpkins and peas not so good on sweed and leek as slugs got my sweed and my leeks might of been put in to late opps. In October I got an allotment plot and been working on that and will be doing no dig in raised beds as I was luckily and theres lots of good size raised beds and a frit cage. Keep up the good work look forward to seeing the pound.
That sounds good and fair enough if you like raised beds. As you noticed, great results happen with open-sided mounds!
Me llamo Francisco, soy de Córdoba, Argentina , ya hace 16 años que empecé a cultivar verduras con el método de no cavar , no lo conocía a usted, yo lo hacía de esta manera, hacía camas de 1,20 metros de ancho por 10 de largo, lo llenaba con guano de caballo fresco, lo humedecida y dejaba que bajara la temperatura , después de 15 días ponía lombrices californianas , cuando lo habían transformado en humus sembraba la verdura, y me da muy buen resultado, es muy parecido a lo suyo , pero haciendo el humus directamente en el cantero, por supuesto después hay que seguir agregando más humus , saludos desde Argentina
Es bueno escuchar esto, Francisco, y sí, tu método es diferente para empezar, ¡pero suena fantástico y tus plantas deben ser realmente maravillosas!
Sorry, I’m way behind watching your vids Charles ( thanks to storm Anwen) 🙄
The new garden is looking fantastic!! 👏👏👏👏 well done. Looking forward to seeing the pond develop x
Welcome back and I hope the damage was not too bad, thanks Lynn
Здравствуйте! Очень познавательный канал, с нетерпением жду весны, чтоб применить полученные знания. Спасибо!
Я рад это слышать, спасибо и удачи
I love that shed to have a coffee in the afternoon, watching the sun rise. really looking forward to seeing the new pond. Thanks for the Spanish subtitling.
Our pleasure!
Hi Charles & team, I want to say thank you for the calendar i received for free. This was an amazing surprise as i have ordered a few things before. This will make an outstanding gift to my friends as its packed with good info and time lines.
Thanks ever so much, appreciated! ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful! For us it's the silver lining to hear this.
I checked on my potatoes this morning and noticed that the flower has fruited what looks like a tomato. I was shocked at first. I thought I had created some kind of hybrid because I have tomato plants growing next to them. A bit of googling shows that is how a potato grows in the right conditions. I never knew that they fruited.
Interesting eh? The fruits are poisonous though and seeds have probably cross pollinated
I can hardly believe how quickly the new plot has become productive. It seems no time at all.
Me too!!
Love your garden... One day, I'll get mine to be as productive as yours.
In the 1920s Hans Egon Döblin transplanted rye seedlings. They were raised in trays or beds. When the plants were about 20 cm tall they were transplanted into the soil 9-11 cm deep so that the first nodium is below ground level. Spacing was 10 to 15 cm. During the season soil was put against the plants from the sides to enhance rooting and in order to grow more "stems" from one plant. In 1926/27 Döblin harvested 1000 kg per hectare. This method was used sucessfully by others as well. I read about it in this book: "Der Kleinsthof" by Oswald Hitschfeld, OLV Verlag
I want to try it with oat for muesli next year.
Cheers!
How cool.
Next year I shall try this. Currently my rye looks unhappy!
would enjoy a video of pond-making process whenever that comes about
Great video Charles.
Really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge on no dog in this way 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
The new space is lovely Charles. Ty for sharing. Hagd.
Charles,Du bist der Beste!
Danke schon Peter
I heard a programme on radio 4 about the importance of the mycelial network, fascinating! You have talked about that a lot in your videos, great to know no dig supports that. I’ve really enjoyed this series on the new area it’s looking fantastic!
Thanks for sharing that Louise
Love your videos Charles!!
Gracias por traducirlo al español, es muy inspirador escucharte. Te sigo hace unos años pero mi inglés no es muy bueno y cuando no está traducido me cuesta entender. Nuevamente GRACIAS!
Que bueno escuchar eso. Si nunca pongo subtítulos, puede encontrar español haciendo clic en el ícono de engranaje y luego en los subtítulos.
