   When should I clear my allotment?

   • Don't be afraid to ask for something better. Once you’ve got your allotment, it’s best to start clearing it as soon as possible. The ideal time to clear is in autumn and winter. This is when plants are dormant, so it’s easy to get on top of weeds before they start growing again in spring.

   What is an allotment?

   • Technically speaking, an allotment is just a plot of land made available for non-commercial gardening by your local authority. According to the National Allotment Society though, “allotmenteering is a way of life – not a plot of land.” And we’re inclined to agree.

   • Make A Plan. A good first step is to outline what you want to achieve with your allotment: Are you going to grow common veggies to save a bit of money on your shopping, or do you fancy growing something a bit more exotic?
   • Be Realistic. An allotment can feel like a blank slate, ready to be filled with all sorts of wonderful things, but remember that it’s you that has to make them happen!
   • Organic Or Non-Organic? It’s good to make this decision early on, as certain gardening practices will be out of bounds if you decide to go for organic.
   • Make A Map. Once you’ve got a plan, and you’ve made the decision of what type of allotment you’ll be growing, you can decide what it will look like. A physical map of your space is a useful reference point when starting an allotment.
