Start a new Allotment Plot | Where to start | Allotment Garden | Things you need to know | Part1
Starting a new Allotment plot is both exciting and daunting at the same time. 99% of the time plots that are offered are 6ft high in weeds and strewn in rubbish and it can seem like a monumental task to sort it out.
But in this the first of a series of videos I will demystify the whole process for you and give you the information help and guidance that many plot holders will wish they had right from the start.
Many plots are given up in the first 6 months to a year chiefly because those tenants did not quite have all of the information and perhaps help they could of used right at the start. This video and the others that will follow in this series will be that helping hand and will take you from your first viewing of your prospective new plot, right through to next year and your first harvests.
I mention 3 programs in the video, please forget the first two..I have just found a much better one here https://www.suncalc.org/ for the suntimes at any time of the year and you can download and use Google Earth for the historical images part.https://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/earth/
