4.0 out of 5 stars Allotment Gardening, 10 Feb 2004
By debbie williams (Derbyshire, England) - See all my reviews
This book was given to me as a gift when I first took on an allotment. A lovely, inspiring book. Full of practical suggestions and ideas. I now garden three allotments and still keep re-reading this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Information Underload, 7 April 2006
By Andrew Kyle (EXMOUTH, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I was disappointed with the limited content of this book. It may be of value to some beginners as the information is kept to the bare essentials and is well set out but some large photographs occupy a good proportion of of a very slim volume and are neither inspiring or informative. If you have a rudimentary knowledge of gardening I would advise you to look elswhere. One in the RHS series may be a better option. Organic Gardening, that I bought at the same time, is well organised, very informative, has helpful diagrams and is not overpopulated with unnecessary photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal book for new allotment holder.., 25 Feb 2006
By Deb P (Derby, Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I purchased several books to help me with my new allotment, and found this was the most helpful by far. Particularly good on how to lay out an 'ideal' plot, plus a good mixture of interesting ideas and practical advice. Heartily recommended!

I am at a loss to understand what the purpose of this book is. It looks like it has been cobbled together in a hurry, without a systematic approach, and features enfuriatingly... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically useful
As a new allotment gardener I have found this book to be no end of help. From setting up the plot all the way through to storing vegetables, it has been a great help.
