Further reading
Some good books to help you. You may be able to borrow them from your local Library :-
Grow your own Vegetables by Joy Larkcom - Essential reading I would say, mine is well thumbed The Allotment Handbook by Caroline Foley - A good book in a different way but well worth getting Kitchen Garden by Lucy Peel - This is one of a series by Collins and I got mine from our local ASDA at a very good price
What can I expect from my Plot?
One question that always comes up is what can I expect to get fro a plot. Originally a 10 rod plot was considered sufficient to keep a family of 4 in fresh fruit & vegetable for a year. Today allotments are used for all sorts. We have had people who just wanted to use it as a garden and have some grass they could sit on & some flowers as they lived in a flat.
On the Document page there are some basic guides that show what dort of yild you can expect, a planner and a charts to help you to identify your soil type.
