The best allotment book I've ever bought was THE ALLOTMENT GARDENER'S HANDBOOK by Alan Titchmarsh. Published in 1982. Don't see the point in getting magazines - it's the same stuff they churn out every year.

I've got the '92 reprint and find the format of the charts/tables at the end very useful.

Thanks. I wasn't aware there was another print. I'll try and get hold of it.

Yep your right there, I had the "grow your own" on promo for 3 months but I wouldn't  want it all the time.

   anyway if you need to know something there's always someone on here who has done, it tried it or just has an opinion on it  :lol:

Welcome to the forums BTW  :wink:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

My veg growing bible is a little book called "Gardening without Chemicals" by the late Jack Temple. It's stuffed with ideas, not always conventional, and is a real eye opener.
Sadly, it's been out of print for a number of years, so ebay or Amazon are probably the best bet.

Following closely on it's heels is "Month by Month Organic Gardening" by Lawrence Hills, of HDRA fame. Lawrence was crippled by coeliac disease, which was his inspiration to go organic (and wheat-free).
Everyone should have a copy,  again try Amazon or ebay.
