About this deal

I know that are things that I can do to help reduce the time needed so that the time I am at the allotment is the time I want to be if it is longer than the 2. Changing fortunes For many people, however, desperate hunger or economic need was the chief, often sole reason for growing their own, a drive that was reinforced early last century by the equally imperative national demands of world war and inter-war depression. And, with the goodwill of most allotment-holders, help with a particular task is often only a plot away.

With this book I defy anyone not to enjoy the wonderful world of the allotment, from the soil to the table. Because they base it on a busy life, which let’s face it most of us have, it gives advice on the plants and fruits that are best for this type of growing. A growing awareness of environmental issues, social inequalities, sustainability and funding has led to a host of constructive and exciting developments that reinvent the nature of allotment gardening.As well as being released in the UK, this book was picked up by Skyhorse in the USA where it's doing very well. There is also guidance on crop rotation, ground preparation, and details on a great variety of vegetables and fruits. Beekeeping, especially urban beekeeping, is becoming increasingly popular and increasingly vital to our food supply as the general bee population declines. I especially like the 'sowing and planting' table which I am using to prepare for the coming new year to coordinate planting times. The Complete Guide to No-Dig Gardening: Grow beautiful vegetables, herbs, and flowers - the easy way!

The situation was gravest wherever ancient local traditions and conventions allowing people to cultivate common land and to pasture animals had been eroded by the rich and powerful. It might be seen as a glimpse of Winstanley’s dream of the day when ‘the whole earth shall be a common treasury for every man’.You could then move on to Organic Gardening: The Natural No-dig Way which gives more details on sowing, planting. The proven physical and mental health benefits gave gardening a central role in therapy and rehabilitation programmes, as well as making it an effective way to escape from the stress and highly organized structure of modern society – for many, working on their plot became a kind of declaration of independence, an emancipation from uniformity.
