Ive spent a whole day reading this book feeling extremely disappointed. If you are a beginner, this book will confuse the hell out you. The sowing dates are all generic and not true. The structure is surrounding the heavy use of pesticides and chemicals so not good for an organic gardener. It's also very much a 'dig' book, where as I'm a 'no dig' allotment gardener. The information on alliums & brassicas sowing and planting is outdated and old fashioned. My advice.... If you are a novice gardener or new to your allotment, swerve this book as you will learn old outdated habits that won't produce great yields.
