How Rob’s passion for growing veg started
His career to date
How the book came about
The BBC TV programme, The Great Allotment Challenge, which Rob won in 2015
Rob’s plans for the future, and of course lots more.
We also speak to Rob’s friend, gardener, maker, upcycler and lover of all things vintage, Darren Lakin .
