Product Reviews
I only got my allotment in February 2011 and I wish I had had this book to hand then! I purchased this and one for a friend as a gift as he has recently become a proud allotment holder too. We both love the simple way it is written and the invaluable advice from someone who actually gets his hands dirty. A fine addition to the potting shed shelf!
John Harrison's books are just about the best and easiest to follow that I've come across. This one is fabulous for helping you through the fruit/veg growing year.
