From the Archives: Allotments

Available for over a year

Kathy Clugston looks back over 76 years of allotment advice on this special archive edition of GQT. There has been a steady increase in the number of allotment owners over the years, as well as more and more questions on where to start, what to plant, and how to maintain them. The GQT team have gone for a no dig approach when pulling out questions and answers from our horticultural experts over various episodes. They share their knowledge on how to save an allotment after a flood, what sort of fruit and veg you should grow, and the properties of a successful compost heap. And later we listen back to when Matthew Wilson and Christine Walkden paid Bob Flowerdew’s exotic polytunnel a visit back in 2018.
