- the say don't meet your heroes, but in todays video I do exactly that. Charles Dowding has been growing food for most of his life, he popularised No Dig Gardening & today he gives me a tour of his sensational market garden. I agreed to get a no-dig tattoo if this video gets 1M views! NO DIG FOR LIFE.

I use to think that a Hollywood life was the dream but now that im older, I've realized one day living in the country, having a sustainable garden is the real dream and brings more meaning to ur life. Loved the video my dude ❤🌿
Your mind has already found liberation from the tricksters' snare - the rest will follow
oh hell yeah. I'm loving this collab
amen
this collab is absolutely everything 💚💚💚
Yes!
In my house he is called Sir Charles. 🤣
I would have been geeking out and giddy just like you. I could feel your excited and nervous energy through the screen and I can totally relate. He is a living legend 🙏🏽🤎
Great video, what is even more fantastic is seeing a younger generation taking on Charles' wisdom with equal enthusiasm. This is how communities flourish.
I don't know that I've ever seen Charles Dowding enjoy himself so much. This was so uplifting and such a pleasure to watch.
Ahhhh ❤️
Dude, you have no idea how much I adore your channel and you as a person. I've never missed a video. You are an amazing Chef with a great personality. I'll meet you one day. I'm working towards it. Everyone deserves to meet their heroes.
Two of my favorite recipe creators!!
It’s such a pleasure to see the success Charles is having at the moment. I first interviewed Charles around 10 years ago and nobody was interested in his message.
Not true, I have been watching Charles for years, and guess what... I don't even have a garden. I will, one day ☺
It was a more narrow niche, luckily people are awakening.
He puts himself in the picture .. QUITE A LOT. Narcissistic?
@@mvl6827??
@@mvl6827
so, 26 minutes of real information about growing the no dig way featuring Charles Dowding and all you see is a narcissist🤷♂️🤔
It's kinda crazy to think about, but there are a lot of people that would feel the same way about meeting you and seeing your garden as you did meeting Charles
I was thinking the same😂
❤
I love people who are passionate about what they do, both of you together chatting about the veggies, awesome. 😊
Honestly, this was a brilliant collaboration of two very talented people working close with nature.
Both of you were very inspiring in this video.
💛 Thank you so much for sharing this video with Charles, and that ending was great!! 😊
Looking forward to Part 2.
P.S. Don't leave us hanging too long please. 😁
In your new reincarnation as a gardener, Gaz, so glad you've stumbled on my 'gardening guru' whose No Dig practice changed my life many years ago. Great video, love the enthusiasm!
Omg this is the collab that everyone needed. Get Hue Richards in here too and it's absolute gold
These two men are absolute treasures.
as someone who loves plants but doesn’t have a green thumb, i really enjoyed this. i hope to get to this level/expertise of gardening. i’m currently working on my fall crops and hoping to get better and know more over time
Minty must have felt she’d found Paradise when she rambled in to Charles’s stunningly beautiful garden , lucky cat 🐈
Instant homely feeling 🌱💚🙂 everything looked as if my childhood gardens materialised. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm looking forward to the next episode!
At this point, Charles Dowding has inspired all of us! Have learnt a lot from him, and still learning 🌻
I am so inspired.....and have a big smile from ear to ear.
Charles has been a major force in me throwing myself into the garden.
I started a small vege garden 12 mths ago at an over 50s village in Australia.
It has been a massive hit with the residents and is now approaching 200 m^2 in size.
There's still so much to learn......so I grow in awe each day of men like Charles whose knowledge and experience are black gold to my mind.
Fabulous collab. Charles is so humbly amazing. I can watch him for hours and Gaz I've not been subscribed to your channel for long but I can also watch you for hours too :D Just love this.
It was fantastic to watch the two of you nerding out about plants together 😁 Who else thought that the cat, loving on the both of them, stole the show in the end? 😄😄
And she helps the compost heap! 😉🐈
Bets Gaz gets a cat ?
Momentous indeed. This was unexpected meeting. A gift of knowledge and love for nature. Thank you Mr. Oakley and Mr. Dowding and all the production crew. 🥰
thank you for this garden tour of Charles Dowding's garden; I've always found Home Acres beautiful and a tremendous inspiration for my own. Blending functionality with aesthetics is no easy task, but the aesthetic value of the vegetable garden can convince more people to try it to enhance the beauty of their home. It's a lower value than saving animals but whatever it takes to get there. Like you said Gaz...you can't truly appreciate food until you grow it. It's not even a close...
Saving what animals?
i always learn something new here.. thanks, Gaz, you amazing, talented human. i just love watching all this fresh, natural, home-grown space that Mr. Charles has created; sooooul gorgeous and greeeeen!!
Gaz, to point you in the direction regarding your question about nutrient density of the plants, read the book "Eating on The Wild Side" by Jo Robinson :) One topic it discusses is how quickly nutrients are lost once harvested (depending on the plant). Thank you for sharing how magical it can be when we grow our own foods
What a wonderful man! his garden looks absolutely perfect, so well organized and pleasing to watch, it's a reflection of his beautiful soul 😌 thank you for inspiration, Gaz! ❤
This is THE BEST!! Thanks gentlemen, what a joy to watch. 🇦🇺
I really enjoyed this, he has a beautiful garden and a sweet cat. I’m really looking forward to the next episode of this collaboration. He gave some wonderful tips on planting and the produce look lovely. Farm to table is definitely a great thing.
Are you wearing leather sneakers...?
Great video! Regarding the nutrition question, I've been researching this myself in regards to homegrown vegetables vs. supermarket vegetables. Things like Spinach lose something like 90% of their vitamin C over the course of just a few days. Most vegetables lose between 15 to over 80% of their nutritional content before it makes it to your plate if you're buying vegetables from the supermarket. To make matters worse, the produce is picked before it's ripe, and then artificially ripened (even the organic stuff), so it never even gets a chance to develop full flavor and nutrition in the first place, before losing a lot of it in shipping, and sitting on the shelf.
It's one of the things that's pushed me to start growing our own food starting this year. Your channel is an inspiration in that endeavour. Thank you.
Gaz you are so inspirational ❤️. Thank you for showing us all of our potential
If you are even a little bit interested in gardening you know these two. A perfect colab ❤
🧑🏼🌾! I’m a fan of both channels, and enjoyed this collaboration! My kids and I have really enjoyed no dig children’s book. I’m looking forward to seeing more content on this subject. Be well,be blessed! 🌱
Wow! I'm really digging this collab! 😃 (I know, I know... I'm sorry but also kinda not tbh. 😂)
This is great! We did a no dig garden this year, such a great way to plant food!
Sungold is amazing. I regret only having 3 of them in my balcony, should have had like 10.
I started my no dig garden 3 years ago. This is such a great video!
Loved this! Brilliant. The smiles say it all! 😊❤🌱
Love this collab. Both of your knowledge combined makes this video gold! Well done!
I love, love, love Charles. Thank you for helping to spread the word.
I grow Sungolds every year, they are delicious, definitely add them to your garden next year Gaz! This was a wonderful video!
Ha ha the cat is stealing the show don't forgetting spay n neuter feeding is wonderful please no baby kittens
that cat Minty is just a sweetheart.....
You both are such an inspiration!!! I can’t wait to see the next episode 🩵
Awesome channel!!! I’m hooked already. Found u from Huw Richards channel. ❤❤🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 keep up the great work - just what I was looking for
Awesome! Thank you!
Charles Dowding is such a lovely man.
Always had a suspicion Charles loves his herbs 😂 absolutely brilliant colab best thing I've watched in weeks. Your both inspirational characters thanks for this. Make another soon! 💚
I think he's just high on life.
6:21 its kinda sad that in this day and age you have to worry about that..
11:23 some good point you are making👌
Charles seems like the sweetest guy ❤
Well excited for this!!! Charles x Gaz Oakley best crossover evrr 💖💖💖
I feel like when I first saw the Avengers. What a nice crossover!
This was such a wholesome video! 🥰 Will come back to it on a rainy day to make me smile 😊 thanks for sharing!
This was wonderful! Did anyone catch the "thing" in the soil that Charles mentioned that makes seratonin? I replayed it a couple of times but still couldn't make it out. At about 17 min. Crossing my fingers
Mycobacterium vaccae
This is just tremendous! Irrelevant of 1m views, you have to get the TATOO!!! Totally inspirational to my channel and hope I get to meet my hero someday, which is you buddy! Another hero of mine is Ottolenghi, as he taught me to fall in love with Vegetables and cook with them. But you've really gone deep here, on a growing level. Charles is an absolute LEGEND. Really interesting with the expertise on growing in blocks and varieties. Thanks for sharing & keep up the tremendous work. James
the energy between you two is 🥰
great idea to visit your hero and sharing Charles garden an his vision on your chanel. I hope a lot of your viewers jump into gardening.
My first love is gardening. It is the most satisfying thing to do. Working with the soil that is giving to us. Without any chemicals!!!
OH MY GOD, HE GOT TO TAKE A TOUR WITH THE LEGEND. GOALSSSSSS.
I LOVE THIS! I AM NOT able to convey the feels! This is the video I didn't realise I needed, I've followed Dowding for so many years aswell.. Honestly, I just wanted to share my excitement about this video, words come sooo short
Amazing, I’ve been watching Charles and you for years so it’s cool to see the collab! Such a hugely inspiring and beautiful garden he has
I love Charles’ gardening philosophy and I love Gaz’s food philosophy. So great to see them together! ❤
I am THRILLED that you have rescued those lovely chickens. Bless you Gaz!! You have given them a wonderful life, and I see nothing at all wrong with eating their eggs under those happy circumstances. Congratulations on your humane attitude. You are doing so much good.
One of your best Gaz. Brilliant
Sun gold tomatoes are the bomb. Thanks for sharing Charles' beautiful garden.
Can’t wait for the next episode!!
This is awesome and inspiring! Literally the freshest, most pranic filled food that nature provides.
Thanks for introducing this fantastic gardener. Now I’ll have to look him up on TH-cam. You are inspiring me to do more with my garden. Great video!
This was such a good watch! Loved every second and can't wait for part 2 :)
Really absolutely beautiful ❤️
oh no that cliffhanger! 😬😄
Maybe your restaurant can be next door to Charles's farm... 💚
That would be cool!
Wot a lucky man you are to meet Charles Darwin
I was growing food on my balcony for years before moving to a large garden. Gaz, wonderful show, awesome energy. You enimate peace while being excited and funny ❤
*"That makes harvest difficult....."* OH MY how I can relate to that! I grew small sugarloaf cabbages for the first time and was so amazed and so incredibly proud of them that I delayed picking them, just couldn't bear to do it - and then had cabbage butterfly moths descend and obliterate them. Still kicking myself hard but using it as a learning experience! Nice to know though that I have one thing in common with such a great gardener LOL Beautiful video *THANK-YOU* - Charles' garden is SUCH a joy and inspiration to just look at from the other side of this planet. Cheers from Sydney
You guys are the best. This makes me so happy. I wish I was there with you talking about growing food and touring the gardens.
Someone is getting a tattoo
Wooow so much respect for Charles
His videos are a great inspiration for our vegetable garden
Shoutout to amerrKLANS who spotted the thumbnail and thought "WHAT IN THE billClinton??!". 😅😂🤣
your video is very interesting. i am also building my own small farm. i come from vietnam and i think i need your guidance so i can build my farm better.🎉🎉🎉
Watching from Australia...you are both so amazing.. Gaz, I have your books and watch your videos all the time... It's the absolute best way to live..growing your own food,vand then preparing it with passion.. Thankyou to both of you 💚
Absolutely wonderful video, so beautiful and informative. I live in South Florida, USA, zone 10b. Summers are brutal but learning to garden in this zone now. Question, how do you control weeds?
From South Africa. Nutrient density of food. The Charles says 'what is science'?
Look up the Bionutrient Meter in USA. Or Dan Kittredge / bionutrient meter.
The 'science' indicates that 'yes, plants grown without chemical inputs by people aiming to look after the soil life = more nutrition.'
Thx video. Is great. I grow to cook / taste. The two things are 'hand in glove'.
This is absolutely Magical!! Thank you for putting it together.
I'm a techie/farmer from Bangalore, India :)
Liked and Subbed - a long time ago actually :D
The crossover I wanted to see! My favourite two gardeners and inspiration right now
A chef and a gardener is a dream team combo I've been fantasizing about for a few years, now. If I ever start dating again, I'd like to find a guy who has a passion for cooking. (Cuz I suck at cooking, lol, but I love gardening. Then again, we would also need land... which most people can't afford anymore, I think.)
Potatoes and 1978, though i grew house plants from edible plants in 1971...
No bloody way!!! Loved this video! Charles is such a hero ❤ absolutely love his no dig book.
Looking forward to the next video, looks like it's going to be a goodo
@CharlesDowding1nodig - Can you explain more about why you do not transfer "compost worms" to your garden bed?
Whaaaaaat??? You are so lucky Gaz!! This is great! ❤❤❤
Fantastic video gents. I'd recommend James Prigioni's channel, he has an amazing permaculture food forest garden in New Jersey he started 8 to 10 years ago and the food production is incredible.
see you bouth enjoy life is just absolutely necessary for our next generation... Gardening and healthy food for life ..love from Scotland
What a beautiful video, so much sharing between 2 lovely people and learning for us! Food for my soul! ❤
Very inspirational and motivating. My hero Charles Dowding. Great video
These are the kind of collabs we want to see more…Charles has inspired so many people and thank you for making this video …waiting for the 2nd part!
My dream future house 🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🥑🍆🥔🥕 Thank you for inspiring Us
such an amazing video, excited to check out Charles!
Lovely video.
Charles Dowding es uno de los mejores referentes de como producir sin laboreo, es una lastima que no subtitulen sus entrevistas en español. En todo caso gracias por compartir
Vegan Drake!
No Dig doesn't disturb the burrows of voles, leaving them undisturbed to undermine the whole garden and cause significant damage!?
great video! major kept me hanging at the end. CD eating the carrots ...silence LOL....
Gardening is cheapest mental health improver available I am 75 and having just moved am starting a new no dig garden and orchard and already have a banana circle planted, 20 berries and 10 citrus here in north Auckland New Zealand 😊
