Media Reviews
There are lots of things I like about this book, in particular the three-year span growing cycle it spans, providing for year-on-year comparisons and a full crop rotation... At the same time the lovely photographs evoke the inspired improvisation and recycling, the growing use of companion planting to attract beneficial insects, and the aura of contentment that hangs over our plots. Lady Allotment sites provide irresistible opportunities for photographers: the sheds, the seats, the lashed-up greenhouses, the supports, the improvised paths, the compost heaps, let alone the lovingly home-grown produce. Edwina Sassoon has made brilliant use of all these in the images which form a major part of the brand-new book 'Three Year Allotment Notebook' by Joanna Cruddas. Allotmenteers are a resourceful bunch and there are plenty of ideas to copy in these pictures, as well as monthly To Do lists compiled by the author and space for your own notes. -- Anna Pavord Independent A must for all who grow their own food.
