Standard allotments are 10 poles, or about 250 square metres. This
standard size was calculated as the right size to feed two adults and
two children.
Thanks for that.
Someone told me that the RHS had managed to do it using a three metre
square of land i.e. nine square metres.
What do you reckon is the practical minimum, given amazingly good planning?

I have a 5 pole and it's more than enough for my partner and I (and the
lot in the pub). However, I don't have produce all year round (yet). I
also don't fully utilise the space at the moment. I think 9m^2 is too
small though.

To be honest, I have no idea on the practical minimum. Depends how much
you like your veggies too.
