For Newbies
If you are new to allotmenting and to growing then you are probably on the look-out for some initial advice and guidance to get you going. While there are plenty of books that you can buy - frequently under the names of celebrity gardeners - it is possible to find much useful advice from experienced plot holders on the internet. These individuals often provide more solid, down to earth information than the celebrities.
As a starter there are a reasonable number of contributors to Allotments4All who have web sites that contain much useful information for the newbie. Here is a selection:
- Eristic – particularly good at clearance and first year cultivation
- Sunningdale Allotments – includes a "new to allotment?" and approaches pages
- Realfood - comprehensive site on fruit and veg
- Tee Gee - covers fruit, veg and ornamentals (please note that the site is currently under reconstruction).
