I've always been a Non-digging gardener - because I'm lazy and didn't see the point of it when forests grow without digging. If I'm anything, I'm a Forest gardener/permaculturalist.
I'd never heard of Charles Dowding when I formed my "style" - now he's in your face everywhere.
I have several of his books but, once you've read one, you've read them all - as each one just jiggles the chapters around.
He's in the fortunate position of making money from his garden, can employ people to do the work and buy in loads of compost or whatever he uses to cover his beds. Much like the Gardener's World crew. Many of us question how Monty Don/Alan Titchmarsh's gardens can always be perfect and weed free - with CD's it is assumed that it is because of his methods. I'm just a sceptic but, there's a company that is selling big bags of "No Dig compost" for about £100 and I'm sure many people will buy into it.
