Charles Dowding

Forfatterbiografi

Charles Dowding (født januar 1959) er en engelsk havebrugsekspert og forfatter, kendt for at udbrede metoden no dig og for økologisk, kompostbaseret jordopbygning. Dowding arbejder med dyrkning af grøntsager og har siden begyndelsen af sin karriere opbygget en form for “hands-on” formidling, hvor praktisk erfaring omsættes til overskuelige råd til hjemmeavlere. På sin egen side beskriver han blandt andet, hvordan han blev sat i offentligheden via tv-medvirken i slutningen af 1980’erne, og hvordan han herefter begyndte at skrive have- og dyrkningsartikler. Hans bøger henvender sig til læsere, der vil dyrke mere bæredygtigt, og genren spænder fra praktiske dyrkningsguider til kalendere og planlægningsværker. Et af hans mest markante bidrag er bogen No Dig Organic Home & Garden, som vandt Peter Seabrook Practical Book of the Year ved Garden Media Guild Awards i 2017. Dowdings betydning for litteraturen ligger især i, at han har gjort “no dig”-tilgangen bredt tilgængelig og dermed påvirket, hvordan mange efterfølgende har valgt at forstå jordens rolle i grøntsagsdyrkning. Et eksempel er Charles Dowding’s Calendar of Vegetable Sowing Dates, hvor planlægning af sådatoer kobles til dyrkningsprincipperne fra hans øvrige forfatterskab.
