My Life on a Hillside Allotment

Terry Walton - read 2008
My Life on a Hillside Allotment

Terry Walton is the chap that does, what has become called "The Radio 2 Allotment". Terry was approached to do a piece on allotments. In no time he was doing a regular slot. The book tells of Terry's life. Another one of this planets dynamos.

Growing up in post-war Wales he was exposed to the industrialisation of farming, insecticides, biocides and fertilizers. He came to the "organic" table early and was able to use radio 2 to champion organic growing.

Some interesting points on how allotments work both from the gardening side and the operation of the society.
