Overview
Grow your own food with confidence using this practical two-book gardening set. The Essential Allotment Guide by John Harrison and Allotment Month By Month by Alan Buckingham together cover everything from securing and preparing a plot to sowing, cultivating and harvesting across the seasons. Written by two experienced allotment holders and gardening authors, this pairing suits new plot-holders, experienced growers, and anyone keen to raise fresh fruit and vegetables at home, on an allotment, or in a small urban garden.

About the Books
John Harrison's The Essential Allotment Guide answers the practical questions every new plot-holder faces: how to improve your chances of getting an allotment, clearing and preparing overgrown ground, planning what to grow, making compost, and building raised beds. It carries readers from an empty plot through to a genuinely productive patch, with detailed growing notes for popular vegetables and fruit, plus honest, down-to-earth advice drawn from Harrison's own years of allotment experience.

Alan Buckingham's Allotment Month By Month takes a seasonal approach, guiding growers through sowing, cultivation, and pest and disease management as the year progresses. With more than 60 fruit and vegetable crop planners and month-by-month reminders of key jobs, it is designed to keep both new and experienced gardeners on track, whether they are tending a full allotment, a community plot, or a handful of containers on a balcony. Together, the two titles combine big-picture planning with month-to-month, task-by-task guidance, making this set a genuinely complementary pairing rather than two books covering the same ground.

• Combines long-term allotment planning with month-by-month seasonal tasks
• Over 60 detailed fruit and vegetable crop planners
• Step-by-step projects, including compost bins and raised beds
• Practical advice for allotments, community plots and small urban gardens
• Written by two respected, experienced gardening authors
• A thoughtful gift set for any new or established grow-your-own gardener
