  • New Allotment Based Book out.

    Amazon.co.uk: One Man and His Dig: Adventures of an Allotment Novice: Valentine Low: Books

    Called One Man and His Dig.

    Synopsis
    When Valentine Low decided to forego his world of dinner parties with the chattering classes to take on a pastime usually indulged in by old men with flat caps and rollups, he had little idea of the sea change it would bring about in his life. A year down the line he had developed a worrying obsession with potatoes, a resourcefulness that borders on kleptomania and an ever-strengthening relationship with a cheery Irishman named Michael (who thinks that zeitgeist is something nasty you get on your cucumbers). By turns entertaining and informative, and packed with allotment wisdom -- everything from who was responsible for the desecration of the purple sprouting broccoli (that'll be the pigeons) to how to build a proper manure heap -- One Man and His Dig is an indispensable guidebook for all green-fingered urbanites.


    £5.99 from Amazon. (Mines on its way)

        Dont think it's a 'how to' book. More of a story of how this bloke got on.

        I can also highly recommend Diggers Diary by Victor Osbourne.

            Must be the Brown Banner in me... or perhaps the half bottle of white plonk.
