About the Book

Packed with invaluable advice, from how to choose an allotment and test its soil, to knowing your chickweed from your chicory, The Allotment Keeper's Handbook offers an enjoyable and inspiring shortcut through the trials, errors and frustrations of starting your own plot.

Dispensing with the strict calendar-based advice usually found in gardening manuals, Jane Perrone steers a carefree course through the gardener's year. Featuring monthly to-do lists, 'spotlights' on unusual vegetables, a history of allotments, an exhaustive section on crop rotation, a chapter devoted to harvesting and storage and a glossary to cut through garden jargon, this book is all you will need to get growing.
