Written by Jonathan Stevens of the Real Men Sow blog, who recently embarked on a mission to find out how much he could save by growing his own fruit and vegetables on a half-sized allotment plot.
In 2007, Jonathan took on a redundant allotment plot in Burnham-on-Crouch with his gardening-mad mum. Jonathan has been blogging about the process as he learns the hard way what works and what doesn’t. A steady stream of incredibly tasty fruit and veg has been winging its way to their kitchens ever since.
