If you are looking at an allotment in Mitcham Eastfields, or already tending one and wondering how to get more from it, you are in the right place.

If you are working with a compact plot on or near Church Road, you already know the challenge: there is never quite enough room, yet somehow every square metre needs to do three jobs at once.

If you garden near Mitcham Common, you already know the rhythm: one week the soil feels workable and fresh, the next it has been battered by wind, shade, or a sudden cold snap.
