1 book? You obviously don't know me very well Sam.
I suppose if I had to choose just one it would be Dr Hessayon's Vegetable Expert. -
Interested to see what you get back on this one. I'm just starting out and considering a book maybe. Digging round on net and you tube at min but was recommended allotments for dummies. No idea if any good but like I say will follow this one to see what recommendations you get and maybe copy :-)

Just one
probably The Low Maintenance vegetable Garden by Clare Mathews as it covers a lot of topics & is easy to read,but I might change my mind later in the thread

Can't choose just one - they all have different strengths and weaknesses. Depends on how much you know to start with

The question is..... What other titles are also within arm's reach.....Originally posted by bearded bloke View PostIt has to be said that was also my first book,brought for me by Mrs.BB & is within arms reach at this very moment

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

I have had a number off books since taking on my allotment this year but I have found the best book for me at least is my RHS Allotment handbook.
Oh and I bought another today from a charity shop How to get rid of garden pests and diseases by Andrew Mikolajski
Will soon see if it's any good

Reader's Digest "Food from Your Garden & Allotment". Out of print now but I got mine for 37 1/2p from a charity shop. (they were doing 2 books for 75p).
It's a bit bulky as it's in landscape format but as a novice allotmenteer I found it invaluable and still refer to it regularly.Comment
