Book Description
Having an allotment, or at least growing some of your own fruit and vegetables, is currently very popular. This book features the non-growing side of allotment gardening; the more practical and functional elements of a typical plot. Clearly defined by season the projects are further broken down into twelve monthly chapters with appropriate projects and techniques in each. All projects are illustrated by step-by-step photography and artwork. Projects range from very basic and intermediate - presented on one page to two double-page spreads to those larger, more complex tasks, such as building a shed, which will be treated as a feature. AUTHOR: Paul Wagland is an RHS-qualified gardener and an experienced writer and designer. He specialises in the practical side of horticulture, from landscaping and outdoor DIY to growing fruit and veg. With a firm belief that a well-maintained garden can add considerable value to a home, Paul has redesigned and renovated many neglected plots for both enjoyment and profit. He is the former editor of two popular gardening magazines (Pond and Gardening and Grow Your Own) and divides most of his free time between his own garden and three allotments in suburban Essex.
