    I am finally reaching the point of sorting out a permanent alottment space within my garden. Not quite, but nearly!

    So, how much space would you allow for growing fruit and veg for one person? Bearing in mind I can utilise other spots so my raspberries and rhubarb, for example, are growing elsewhere so won't need to be accounted for. Also allowing for a lot of potatoes!

    I'm just deciding where it's actually going to be so if I know roughly how much space to set aside, that will help me make the decision :)

    @nikirushka .Well I now grow a lot go my veg for 2 in my poly tunnel which measures 27' x 15'.. I also have an 8 x 6 greenhouse for tomatoes & chillis.. 4 large raised beds as well as various large pots and containers and every year I run out of space.. :heehee: I though it would be loads of space but every year I want to grow more plants.! :heehee:
    I used to have a massive veg plot that was 70’ x 50’ but it was far too much for me now so sold it off , keeping the plot I have now with the tunnel and beds on and is very manageable..
