A show letting you know what I have been up to on my allotment, this will be on the 1st of each month which will be in Video / Audio format. Then each week an audio podcast about any aspect of allotments. If you would like to hear about something special about allotments then please get in touch and let me know.
For most allotment and gardeners one of the big villains are slugs and snails so how do you deal with them. You can try a wide range of ways listed in the video but you really need to do a mix of them to help reduce the amount of slugs and snails but you will never get rid of them all.
