More about the Charles Dowding collection.
The Philosophy of Charles Dowding
Charles Dowding, a pioneer of the no-dig gardening method, advocates for less disturbance of the soil to promote a naturally productive and healthy garden. His approach minimizes labor and soil erosion while maximizing the health and yield of plants. The trays designed under his guidance reflect this philosophy, emphasizing ease of use, minimal soil disturbance, and sustainability.
Innovative Tray Design
The design of Charles Dowding trays is meticulously crafted to support the growth of small seedlings, allowing them to be transplanted to the garden quickly. With smaller cells and minimal compost use, these trays require careful attention to ensure the seedlings do not dry out. This design is favored by Charles for its efficiency in nurturing young plants to a stage where they can thrive in a no-dig garden. Check out our Charles Dowding tray collection to choose the best fit for your gardening style.
Enhanced with the Plug Popper
Transplanting from Charles Dowding trays is made effortless with the plug popper, a specially designed tool that gently ejects seedlings from the trays. This tool is ideal for handling the smaller holes of the Dowding trays, ensuring seedlings are removed smoothly without damage, making the transplanting process quick and efficient.
