Hi Nigel, have you looked at any of Charles books. If not I thinkyou will find them very useful when setting up a new allotment / garden. The one called ‘ Organic Garden was the first that I bought when I got my first allotment. I think it will answer most of your questions. Good luck
SteveJHi Nigel, it is said that North / South is best but mine are East / West and my harvests are satisfactory. If you are not growing much in the winter turn the battens on there edge. They keep drier that way. Hope this helps all the best
Steve JHi I went no dig several years ago and I use battens for paths spaced at 90cms apart. I know you get slugs but the birds, frogs and toads don’t seem to have much problem eating them. I haven’t raised my beds with wood sides. I would only do that if your soil is poor. Good luck with whatever you decide
Regards Steve J
