In recent years allotments have grown in popularity with demand far outstripping supply. John Harrison shows how to improve your chances of getting an allotment and move up the waiting list. In this all-encompassing guide, he also advises on clearing an allotment, planning what to grow and how, building compost bins, using raised beds – plus detailed instructions on growing the best vegetables and fruit.

Praise for John Harrison’s Vegetable Growing Month by Month:

“…solid words of advice, written in a way that everyone will understand.”
Medwyn Williams, Chairman of the National Vegetable Society and member of the Fruit and Vegetable Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society.
