  • It's a present but looks like the business for both beginner and experienced allotmenters

    It's a present and hasn't been used yet but we looked into which book seemed best for allotment gardeners. This looked good for both beginner and experienced allotmenters and for us it was the clear winner. The actual book is brand new and looks like it should be very useful so hopefully it's job done.

  • A must have!

    It's your Allotment/Garden diary with notes on all the things to - you will never overlook anything again. However, with some subjects, though it gives good timings, there is not enough detail on technique (Pruning for example). Overall all though, truly excellent, especially for beginners.
