The beginners guide to growing crops in a small place/plot/allotment. Applies equally to a community plot or a segment of a home garden.
Community gardens are places where people interact in a multitude of ways, as they cultivate shared land. In some, each person has an individual plot; in others, plots and produce are shared. Interest in community gardening is increasing, especially in cities, where a wide range of ventures are happening, even on rooftops.

The first three chapters of this book show the progression of a new plot, from planning and preparation, to the well-earned harvest. These chapters also feature step-by-step projects, developed in a community garden, to show what can be achieved in the first year. The final chapter explains how to troubleshoot common problems, while a useful glossary will help you understand unfamiliar gardening terminology.

You're taken through step by step, from assessing your site to sowing and planting. Atotal of 109 pages of that. Then there's 74 pages on Vegetables - growing and storing. Followed by 36 pages on Fruit - growing and storing. And finally 20 pages in a Help - Troubleshooting guide. Even Chickens and Bees get a look-in!
