A new introduction describes these changes.Rich in local history and anecdote, The Allotment explores regional variations like pigeon-fancying and leek competitions, as well as alternative uses and international comparisons.Are allotments simply a recreation like tennis or golf, or the last precious vestige of everyone’s natural right to a patch of land to produce food? ”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
