Best book on what to do when on an allotment?

[ilikepurpleforests]

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.

Similar to @Ljufr above, this isn’t specifically allotment focussed but I do like Carol Klein (you can click to see a small sample of the book before you buy and it shows the contents list so might give you an idea if it’s what you need)

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...

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.

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

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