Setting-up and maintaining a plot can seem daunting, particularly for the inexperienced vegetable grower. If you are thinking about this idea then check out a new book called The Allotment Source Book by Caroline Foley which is a complete reference for everything to do with managing an allotment, from soil and plot organisation to propagation and pruning.
This book is perfect for all types of plotholder, from the non-working person who can spend time every day caring for the plot to the busy parent and worker who only has an hour or two at the weekend. All practices and methods covered are organic, and throughout the book there is advice from seasoned plotholders and various examples of 3-year cycles.
This really is the definitive guide to running a successful and productive allotment.
