Product Description
The rise in the popularity of allotments means that the old image of flat-capped men leaning on spades is no longer valid. This book aims to bring to life the unorthodox, the highly successful and the occasionally absurd, activities going on down the allotment plots. From a singer/songwriter travelling the length of the country to catalogue allotment life, to solar-powered chicken coops, pumpkin art and prize-winning plot owners - there's more than originally meets the eye. "Allotment Days" also offers an array of allotment tips and hints so you, too, can make the most of your allotment.

A brilliant book. A real look at life on the allotments charting different people's perspectives and the joy and the tears/aches/pains they get from working an allotment. With some great tips from the allotmenters themselves. Beautifully written and great pictures. A treasure trove.
