    About this ebook

    Charles Dowding draws on his years of experience, to show how easy it is to start a new vegetable garden. Any plot - whether a building site, overgrown with weeds or unwanted lawn - can be turned into a beautiful and productive vegetable area. Charles's no-nonsense and straightforward advice is the perfect starting point for the beginner or experienced gardener.

    The book takes you step-by-step through:

        * Planning and early stages
        * Clearing the ground
        * Mulch - what, why, how?
        * Minimizing digging
        * Sowing and planting across the seasons
        * Growing in polytunnels and greenhouses

    It is filled with labour-saving ideas and the techniques that Charles uses to garden so successfully and is illustrated throughout with photos and tales from Charles's first year in his new vegetable garden.
