We chat with Vermont garden educator and radio host Charlie Nardozzi, who discusses his journey into no-dig gardening—and why it’s good for gardeners, the soil, and the environment.

He also tells us about his new book, The Complete Guide to No-Dig Gardening.

Nardozzi hasn’t always been a no-dig gardener. He used to garden with a gas-guzzling tiller. He shares ideas for gardeners who want to create a new no-till garden, as well as ideas about how gardeners with existing beds can transition them into a no-till system.

In the fig segment, we chat with a New York fig grower who has "stepover" figs. In the tomato segment, we explore the idea of "keeper" tomatoes.
