Garden Plans > 2016: Allotment

About this Garden Plan
This is my first year with an allotment so I have spent a lot of time trying to plan out that layout of the garden. I am going for a "low-dig" (as opposed to no-dig) approach, so have divided the 200m2 plot into beds 1.4m wide. I have gone to some effort to try to grow a range of different varieties of each type of vegetable, to spread the season out rather than having gluts. But, truth is that I have no idea how much I need to grow to feed my family.
