I imagine the one by Pauline Pears is a good one as she works/worked at Ryton & her other books are good

Don't know anything about the first one.

Hi Seasprout,
I've read Jane Perrone's Allotment book, it's taken from her blog, a personal diary of her allotment with growing advice, tips and some recipes. A good read certainly but it's not a real how to book, but she's a good enthuser!
best wishes
Sue

Default Recommendations?

Has anyone read these books? I have a couple, but any advice re: the others would be very gratefully received (either here or in the recommendations bit). Thanks Dexterdog
