Product Description
Product Description
Allotment gardening is becoming increasingly popular as people discover that growing their own organic vegetables, fruits and herbs is an attractive and achievable option. Allotment gardening also has additional benefits: it's an excellent way to take exercise and be sociable, and it can be therapeutic. "The Allotment Specialist" is crammed with practical information on every aspect of growing produce on an allotment. Beginning with the basics, it includes tips on choosing a plot, preparing the soil, crop rotation, planting the beds, and weed and pest control. Year-round calendars provide at-a-glance information on key tasks and give pointers on keeping allotments productive all year round. Comprehensive, A-Z directories of vegetables and fruits guide readers through the most popular varieties, their soil and site needs, and the best times and methods for sowing, planting and harvesting. With reliable, practical information and an easy-to-use format, this is the perfect companion for every current or prospective allotment owner.

I have purchased just about every book on this site on Allotment Gardening,
Being a complete novice like a two year old just learning to talk! All I can say
if I could have purchased this book 1st I would not have spent anymore money
on other books. This book tells you all in simple terms what to do and when to do it!
Which when you're a complete beginner this is what you need!
So don't get any other book until you have got this and read this one!
The chances are you won't buy another one. Happy Gardening

I have masses of gardening books but am new to this series. Excellent books and would highly recommend as they provide enough information to be helpful and informative without being too technical. Great for easy reference and well laid out to find what you are looking for. Would definitely buy others from the series.
