hi i am trying to become selfsufficient i am going to look at an allotment about 500 square yards but the lady from the councel said if i wanted more i could possibly have more if i wanted, we have whippets (pot dogs) which are going to be used to catch stuff for the pot.
any advice would be gratefully excepted, used to keeping livestock but not the growing of veg,
any one around bassetlaw area give me a shout.
hi from notinghamshire

Hello, and welcome
I'm quite new too.
I've found the best way to get started on an allotment is to ask your fellow allotment holders their advice...sometimes you don't even have to ask! Have a good look at what's growing well and then just go for it. I personally prefer to start most things off in those module trays...especially cabbages etc, they tend to stand upto pests better.
A brilliant book for a laugh and reassurance when first starting an allotment is Alloted Time by Robin Shelton (it's in my local library so could be in yours)
Best of everything
