Published to help civilians grow vegetables during the First World War, The Allotment Book is a practical guide to making the most of whatever size allotment you have. Though written more than one hundred years ago, it contains easy-to-follow, reassuring advice that remains highly relevant today. The author, an expert in the field, firmly believes that anyone can grow crops successfully, whether their allotment is tiny or large.
Key Topics Covered:
- Digging techniques
- Making compost
- Clearing neglected ground
- Fertilizers and recommended varieties
- A month-by-month guide to allotment tasks throughout the year
- Hints for novice growers
The philosophy of growing could not be more apt for our times:
‘There is comfort in the fact that all of us, farmers, allotment-holders, and cottagers are inclined to get all we can from our land during our tenancy, without putting any more into it than we can help.’
Charmingly simple line drawings and diagrams accompany this timeless text, making it an ideal gift for allotment growers everywhere.
