Allotment Month by Month by Alan Buckingham

4.0

Very straightforward book to growing veg, fruit and herbs in an allotment situation. Lots of great photos, text frequently borken up by lots of headings to improve readability and it's easy to skim though and find what you need.

Divided into 4 sections:

Allotment know how - assessing the site, microclimate, plot layout, making beds, crop rotation etc

Allotment calendar - bullet point list of top tasks to be done every month backed up by more detailed information of veggies available, sowing & planting, other jobs to be done, pests & diseases to look out for.

Crop planner - page entry per crop item with calendar to show sowing/harvesting times, info on where to grow, sowing & planting, tips on growing, harvesting and troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting - pests & diseases A-Z.
