Gardens and Allotments in Coventry

Which? Magazine has a number of good news reports on allotments and gardening.

This article has five-six tips on what to look for in an allotment.

- Fertile, well-worked soil is a real help - some sites are now organic
- Convenient water, such as a handy water tank, as hose-pipes are not always permitted
- Good security is an advantage as vandalism and theft can be a problem on some sites
- Access for compost deliveries is helpful and some sites will organise this on behalf of members
Some sites have the benefits of a club hut, sheds for individual plots, and tarmac access roads
