Allotments are enjoying a renewed popularity because people want to know exactly what theyre eating, save money, eat seasonally and save on carbon footprints. As well as men, more and more women are taking up the challenge to create their own sustainable food source with allotments, as well as experiencing the enjoyment of seeing things grow, not just fruit and vegetables, but also flowers. As well as potatoes and sunflowers, exotic plants such as ginger and pak choi are being grown and people are running businesses from their allotment produce, tapping into the locally-sourced, seasonal food market. Gordon Thorburn shows how to make the best from your allotment or even a veg patch with tips on natural bug deterrents, companion planting (save your cabbages by planting marigolds amongst them) and a handy seasonal planner, as well as must-try recipes.

Excerpt from The Cultivation of Allotments Although it is not always possible to select an ideal spot for an allotment garden, yet it is worth while to know what to consider if a selection is possible. The garden should not be on very high ground, since on high, exposed positions drying winds and gales may do much damage. Nor should it be too lowlying, since many low lying gardens are subject to fogs and late Spring frosts, and may even be waterlogged. It is also desirable that the garden should have a gentle slope to the south, south-east, or south-west, so that the crops get a maximum amount of sunlight and air. Plants grown under these conditions ripen earlier and resist insects and disease better than if these conditions are impossible. We are Often asked how large an allotment garden should be. NO general answer can be given. A man with a good deal of time on his hands might cultivate as much as forty poles (or quarter of an acre), but the usual sizes are half a chain (or 8 square poles), ten poles, and one chain (or 16 square poles). There is a decided advantage in having the allotment garden long and rather narrow, especially if it is possible to have it long from east to west and short from north to south.

The Royal Horticultural Society The Half Hour Allotment (first published in 2005) has been a best-selling gardening title for Frances Lincoln and the Royal Horticultural Society for many years. This new edition re-presents the classic in a fresh new illustrated format with hundreds of new photographs and a bright new design. The book explains the philosophy of spending half an hour each day on the allotment in order to produce something to harvest and eat every day. This tried-and-tested formula is clearly explained with weekly work plans and time-efficient solutions for busy gardeners who want to spend every moment preciously. It outlines the best crops to grow, the best varieties within each crop, and shows how to arrange and equip your allotment so that it is a place of interest for you, your family and visiting wildlife. Lia Leendertz is an organic gardener with a great sensitivity for the environment so the book is a gentle and thoughtful read as well as being a bible for productive and time-starved gardeners.

Newcomers should apply to the Local, Borough or Urban District Council, or Parish Council for a holding. These authorities have power to commandeer land for the provision of allotments of not more than five acres in extent, and, if these bodies do not act, the would-be allotment-holders may demand them to. Failing satisfaction from this quarter, the County Council Should be requested to act and, if this body cannot or will not make the necessary provision, the final court of appeal is the Board Of Agriculture. The London County Council, it may be mentioned, can provide holdings, but is in no way obliged to.

Excerpt from Vegetable Culture: A Primer for Amateurs, Cottagers, and Allotment-Holders Flowers are fascinating by their perfume and their beauty; fruit is alluring by its form, colour, tooth some qualities, and uses it is not surprising therefore that both fruits and flowers are being increasingly cultivated. It is most desirable that there should be a further extension in those delightful home pursuits but not in the smallest degree less desirable is it that Vegetables should have all the attention that their commanding merits deserve. It is gratifying to know that their value is becoming more and more recognised. For a long time they were assigned a relatively low place in Horticultural exhibitions, whereas now they form a prominent feature at many, while lectures on Vegetables are largely attended by.

Excerpt from Allotments and Small Holdings The chief object of this little Work - apart from its general advocacy of Allotments and Small Holdings - is to show how the enactments relating thereto may be put into operation. The technical matter, therefore - brought down to the latest date - will, it is hoped, be found useful not only to those who desire land and to land-owners, but to Parish, District, and County Councillors in whose hands the enforcement of the Allotments and Small Holdings Acts is so largely placed.
