I started work on my allotment in May this year and I'm having a great time making lots of mistakes and even getting to have the first nibble of produce !
Now that I've got something growing in most of the space available I've started to think more about jobs I should be doing around the plot, one of the first I want to do is try and provide some shelter from the wind.
The allotment is in a very exposed position, on a gentle slope with views across open land to the south and the prevailing wind, so when it gets windy (and it can get very windy here) the allotment gets the full force.
Does anyone have any ideas or tips for providing shelter ? The plot is 30ft x 60ft and isnt particularly well suited to high fences/bushes, trees aren't allowed, although I expect would be ok in containers (will have to check).
