Best book on what to do when on an allotment?

I am seeing loads of books online, but I'm not sure which one to get.

looking for a step by step, month by month, guide of what to do when, with instructions on which tools to use and how to use them.

Also looking at companion planting and keeping away pests and mould. With the wet weather, mould ruined a lot of this year.

Does anyone have any book recommendations of books which have helped you?

Hi, this book isn’t specifically what you asked for, it is however an excellent book, and would likely be interesting and informative for you. On special offer at the moment too.

I found the half hour allotment was brilliant.

I also spent a lot of time on an allotment chat board...time that would have been better spent at the allotment to be honest...

National allotment society also have a monthly list of jobs that you can look through as a guide.

I got this one, and ten years later still refer to it now and again.

It was great the first year, telling us what to do when, or look out for pest wise.

I just ordered that one yesterday, looking forward to it although we’ve had the allotment for a couple of years.
