The best allotments are planned ahead. By preparing your beds now, repairing supports and improving your soil, you'll give yourself the best possible start for the months ahead.

Every little job you do today is an investment in tomorrow's harvest. 🌱

Keep smiling, keep shining, keep gardening with Ben. 💚

Heatwave hitting your allotment?

The next few days could make the difference between thriving crops and disappointing harvests.

Top priorities:
💧 Water deeply, not little and often
🌱 Mulch to keep moisture in the soil
🏺 Don't forget containers — they'll dry out first
🥬 Harvest regularly to reduce plant stress
🌤️ Shade young and vulnerable crops

Missed Huw Richards' inspiring presentation at the National Allotment Society AGM 2026?

In The Power of an Allotment Plot: A Modern-Day Dig for Victory, Huw shared how a modest 125m² allotment and just six hours of gardening a week can produce enough fruit and vegetables to provide 7,000 portions towards your five-a-day.

His talk explored the incredible potential of allotments to improve food security, support wellbeing, strengthen communities and create a more sustainable future.
