A west London allotment and small-garden notebook covering plot measurement, soil, food growing, wildlife planting, and local produce shows.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The notebook organizes advice by task rather than by calendar month, reflecting its stated preference for site conditions over generic seasonal instructions. Its visible examples retain the underlying arithmetic: ten square rods become 253 square metres, while native hedging is described through species proportions and 30 cm spacing. The wildlife section contains six pages, including a planting plan with species, spacing, and aftercare. The site also says its material was rebuilt from an earlier west London horticultural society archive.
