A few lessons learned, snippets of information and hints, which I have stored in this on-line notebook.   I like to know what's gone into my vegetables, so you'll find I've concentrated on organic practice.

I hope you find it useful.   If it stirs you to tell me of a better way of doing things, please drop me an e-mail.

These notes started as an exercise for a computing course I was studying - two years into my first allotment plots, when I'd forgotten a lot of what was involved in getting started!   However, we have now started a new plot on another site - you might be interested in the diary of a new plot, from first clearing, to productive glory - I hope!

And a last thought, from Jennifer Thorp, which I culled from a bulletin board.   "There is no fertiliser like the gardener's shadow!" - so true!
