Is that the silly book he wrote 30 years ago? If the case, that's a bit of use for kindling. :roll:

If we are thinking the same book, I don't know. :shock:

very useful but these days what with the seasons all over the place then yes it is probably out of date.

Can't be that bad, there's one on sale for £47 on that Amazon link!

He wrote it in the 1980's and it's very sourt after these days.

But £47, I should hope it's signed, or got his muddy fingerprints on it. But if it was written in the 80s he would have been quite young when he wrote it. Not the seasoned experienced gardener he is today. Not sure I would trust a gardening book written by a 'youngster' (love that word).

Month by Month Organic Gardening, by the late Lawrence Hills, is a fabulous read and can be had for just a few quid off Ebay or Amazon.

Funny you should mention the Eden Project as it was following our first visit to Eden last year that gave us inspiration to get an allotment!

Seadart should be back from visiting the Eden Project and should have some nice pix for the rest of us

Hi

Sorry it is not a book, but I would recommend 'The allotment' DVD by wildfire.

My fav book is the vegetable expert by Dr Hesseyan. The pocket size one you can take with you to the lotty.

I have "The Allotmen" DVD series too ... it's not bad, but not as informative as I expected but still glad I got it. I enjoy watching it this weather when it's too wet to get down the plot
