My allotment plan, advice please

[Adam Moran]

This is my plan, ok so im not great at drawing but you get the idea.

Its not to scale and there will probably be more beds but thats the veg id like to grow.

I have no idea what should be grown together so any help or pointers would be great.

Hi Adam,

Looks like you have a good size garden.

The only thing that I would suggest, and its only my personal veiw, is that you could if possible put a path / walkway right down the middle of your garden. This would make access much easier for watering / weeding etc..
You could also join your shed onto your greenhouse, as everything that you need is in one place, rather than carrying everthing from one place to another. It would also free up a bit more space. Other than that its a really good layout.
you coul put a guttering system off the roof of your green house and put water butt(s) on the end of a downpipe. This would fill your water butts up much quicker.

Hope this helps.

Do you also need 3 compost heaps ??

Hi Adam

Its great to make plans - that are subject to change I've split my plot into beds and find it a lot easier to manage that way. A path down the middle might be a good idea if you can spare the soil, it will save a lot of leg work in the long run.

As to 3 compost bins - you get a thumbs up from me, I've got 2 full to brimming already and an empty one waiting to start off
