Allotment Tour: March 2022
Rachel gives a full tour of our plots in Manchester, UK. We have 500sq.m – 1 full plot and 2 halves and follow a ‘No Dig’ method in raised beds. We grow a wide range of fruit, veg and flowers which supply our kitchen all year round. We are not fully self-sufficient, but we shop very rarely.
How much? Raised bed repair
How you noticed the price increases in timber and has this affected your allotment design?
