Organic growing from pot to plot "This is the number one book for anyone who loves salads." - Anna Pavord "Charles is a passionate and accomplished gardener who grows vegetables of amazing flavour." - Raymond Blanc Small is beautiful, less is more; a salad a day - but not the supermarket way. This compendium of practical methods for growing a wide variety of salads throughout the year, will inspire you to grow your own, whether on a windowsill, on a patio, in your garden or on the allotment. Here is all the information you need for productive, healthy and tasty salads. Learn the subtleties of salad seasons and virtues of different leaves throughout the year. And when your table is groaning with the abundance of your harvests, there are delicious and imaginative recipes from Susie, Charles's wife, exploiting the fantastic flavours, colour and vitality of home-grown salad leaves. The Author: Charles Dowding has grown vegetables and salads organically for over 25 years using surface composting methods. He started growing vegetables commercially in 1982 with one of the first vegetable box schemes, and is currently cropping an acre, selling about 200 salad bags of different sizes every week. He has written about the principles of no-dig gardening in his earlier book Organic Gardening: The Natural No-Dig Way published in 2007 by Green Books.
