by Amazon Customer
Recommended by an experienced allotment growing family member… and it’s brilliant.
Explains what to do, how to do it, and when to do it, without being overly wordy or patronising.
As someone new to allotments I wanted some clear ideas of how to lay things out, how to care for my plot, and what to grow and when… and it’s brilliant.
Also beautifully written and lovely photos showing how to do things, and what to look for with garden pests and problems.
Excellent book!
