Welcome, from an Armley Lass! :)

I've always found Grow Your Own Vegetables by Joy Larkcom very helpful, but the Hessayon book has also had its uses as it includes plant diseases etc with each group of vegetables, with pics you can use to compare with your plants: sometimes the words just aren't enough :)

Best regards,
Sue

Have to agree with you Sue, two excellent books, although I think GYO can be overwhelming for the absolute beginner, wotta lotta info!

Many thanks for the ideas, I think I'll have a good library by the end of next month!!

Managed to get hold of a supply of 6" x 1" wood for my raised beds, so I'm busy at the moment building, when I get it looking something like I'll up load some before and after photos.

AutoCad at the moment but moving over to Solid Works in the new year.

Hi Leeds lad. I'm a Bradford girl and just got my allotment on sunday. It was all planted up as the owner is terminally ill (bit bitter sweet thing really!!). I asked the person who had the plot next to me and was told to pull everything up, so have just got a few sprouts left to go at. I hope I did right. is yours a mess?

It's more a question of less work.

Yes, no-dig doesn't mean no work - just different work! :)
