Exactly - he's a professional market gardener who supplies lots of businesses in his local area. That's a bit different from a full-time TV pundit who's being paid a fat salary to stroll around manicured borders waxing lyrical - or from us hobby gardeners who have to fit the gardening in around all our other responsibilities Big Grin

I have a book of his "Compost gardening" (Pub 1974) that I read long before I'd heard of Charles Dowding. Its one of many that he wrote about using compost as a mulch and not digging the soil. Its an interesting read.
Found it at a reasonable price on fleebay. Cool
