The Andy's No Dig Bed Blueprint

The Andy’s No Dig Bed Blueprint

One Raised Bed. Real Food. And perhaps a little more sanity.

Fancy growing your own vegetables, but not quite ready to surrender your weekends to an allotment, memorise the rules of crop rotation, or become the sort of person who has surprisingly strong opinions about compost?

The Andy’s No Dig Bed Blueprint is the perfect place to start.

Drawing on more than 25 years of growing vegetables, fruit and flowers, Andy shares the raised bed he would build if he were starting again today: simple, manageable, productive and designed to fit around real life.

Inside, you’ll discover the thinking behind the bed, a complete specification and shopping list, step-by-step guidance for building it, and ideas for choosing those all-important first crops.

But this isn't only about producing vegetables.

It's about stepping away from the screen. Ten minutes pottering outside before breakfast. Sitting with a coffee and watching the bees. Picking a tomato that never quite makes it back to the kitchen. And discovering that growing food can be rather good for you, too.

You don't need a huge garden.

You don't need hours of spare time.

And you definitely don't need to know everything before you begin.

Build this bed. Start growing. Learn as you go.

The Blueprint may finish on the final page, but the conversation doesn't. Follow what happens next; the successes, experiments, occasional disasters and things that simply bring me joy, at Andy’s No Dig Bed.

One Raised Bed. Real Food.
