Not a book at all. If you have not got one already get an Allotment, talk to the people on site. See who grows what the best, see if they will give you tips. Practise makes perfect. Decide if you wish to grow things organically, then go to the Library and borrow several books so that you can make up your mind which is the best.

The best books ever on the subject - "The ABC of Vegetable Gardening" was written by:
Doctor Wilfred Edward Shewell-Cooper [1900 - 82]. Look him up on the web. A true organic gardener.
This was one of my text books while studying horticulture [1970 -75] The information contained within is just as significant today as it was in 1936, when it was first published.
However, these will be well out of print and will not be available in normal bookstores.

The Allotment Book By Andi Clevely. By coincidence the Book man at work has just left a copy. Price £6.00. It could just be fate. Kim Wilde recommends it. Phwoor Kim Wilde!!!
