2008 Allotment Planting Plan
 
Below is the planting plan we based our activites on in 2008 and felt confident that we were getting things under control. This year we tried to be very clear on the crops we want and those we dont, so instead of having the huge variety we had in previous years, we just grew the crops we especially liked.
 
 
 
The rear portion of the plot this year was manured and housed the crops such as beans, sweetcorn, potatoes and sqashes, the compost bins and monolith remained in the same area (with the addition of two new ones next to the shed). The central and side areas held our root crops and onions, whilst the front had the brassicas. We extended our decorative and path areas, as well as added a herb bed, new strawberry patch. and fruit cage.
