Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the Mic the Gardener – Gardening Podcast.

In this week's episode, The Slot from the Plot, we're heading back to the allotment to have a chat with… Ben! The rather elusive Ben Short finally makes an appearance and tells us about his experience of starting a new allotment with his partner Otis.

And in part two of this 'Slot from the Plot' special, I chat to new allotmenteer, Amy Wall about her new allotment. Amy shares her story and gives us some great tips for new allotment owners along the way.

To find out more about all of these wonderful allotmenteers, do you head to their Instagram pages:

Ben - https://www.instagram.com/shortish/

Amy - https://www.instagram.com/grow.yourself.a.garden/

As always, I will be back next week with another horticulturally packed episode so please don't forget to follow/subscribe. And, if you're able, I'd be very grateful if you could leave me a review with your preferred podcast provider.

See you all next week.

Mike
