Now, what about 'styles'? ((snip))

We have the traditional type of allotment. Straight rows, measured spacings,
weeded constantly, everything well labelled, when a crop comes out the
grounds dug and raked............. typical retired persons allotment, just
too neat to be anything else. : -)

But we have had others that do a blitz at Easter working dawn to dusk, strim
the 3ft high weeds down, manure and dig everything, and plant. Not much else
is done all year, even the cropping is done in one or two hits, certainly no
weeding of annuals, not even round the onions.

Another good grower puts plants in wherever they fit so it's like a
patchwork or herbaceous border, not too worried about weeds either unless
they get big enough to compete. She has won 5 Banksian Medals in the last
few years which speaks for itself.
