Well, I've been a bad boy.

I knew I couldn't get through that with a straight face.

I've been a bad boy over here, my friends, in the Epic Gardening World.

As we're recording this podcast, I'm actually looking at a photo that I have framed on my

wall of myself and the great master himself, Charles Dowding, one of my great mentors in

gardening that I've learned immensely from, and was able to actually visit his garden

and tour and sort of soak it up from the master himself in person.

And as you know, if you know Charles, you know he's the no dig godfather.

That's what he is.

That's what he is.

Of course, he did not invent no dig, you know, Ruth Stout, I would say, in America at

least popularized the idea, but this sort of concept has been around for a long time.

Certainly Charles is the one who's put it on the map.

I would say in the current era of gardening, especially with media today.

Yeah, absolutely.

Everyone recognizes him as being a no dig person.

Yeah.

Totally.

And so why have I been a bad little boy?

Well, it's because I have started to till.

And a lot of people, when we did our fall garden redesign on the Epic homesteading channel,

we did it.
