I have 2 allotments and grow a mix of flowers and veg. Advice is great, you'll get loads, but you don't have to follow it and it can be illuminating not to. I have followed the raised bed route. I use pallet collars which I fill with any material I can get my hands on. Am lucky that we have a lot of wood chip available which composts to a peat like material. The pathways between these beds are covered in mypex or plastic or cardboard, with wood chip on top. Works for me, I would never have been able to clear the weeds from the first plot I got. P. S. Wilko sell cheap veg seeds. Worth sowing in June.
