BEST SELLER! Allotment Gardening is a practical beginner’s guide to growing your own fruit and vegetables organically. Aimed at those who have not had an allotment before and are new to growing their own – it is just as relevant if you are planning to start a vegetable patch and it is packed with advice from choosing and planning your plot through to harvesting and storing your produce.
In part one, Susan Berger discusses the basics, from tools, planning and clearing the site, to soil, crop rotation, planting and protecting plants. She also looks at design, growing techniques, from feeding and mulching to saving seed and supporting plants plus how to prevent and cope with common problems. A gardener’s calendar, with detailed activities for each month, completes the section.
Part two gives detailed instructions on the cultivation of individual fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs, along with recommendations for particular varieties, chosen for their flavour. Ideas for companion planting and tips on storage and use of herbs are also included.
Each fruit and vegetable entry features an easy recipe to help you make the most of your fresh produce: simple soups, unusual ways of serving vegetables, more exotic dishes and easy recipes for puddings and jams.
Illustrated with line drawings and over 30 inspirational colour photographs, Allotment Gardening also includes a directory of organic seed suppliers and useful organisations.
