Garden Plans > 2012: allotment Part B: storage & 1st 2 plots

About this Garden Plan

Allotment (roughly 22ft x 109ft) was divided into 5 "food4wealth" plots to create microclimates to minimise watering, weeding and digging. Each plot can support a family of 4 all year round in vegetables. As I juice, and want to grow seeds for sprouting, I am experimenting with how much I need to grow. I am also using one plot as a fruit4wealth site, and sharing plots with others interested in the same approach. I found the SFG calculator useful to calculate quanties of plants/ seeds etc although I will mix them up rather than planting in squares....
