Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):
The Half Square antenna is capable of fitting into a small space, and this 20m version offers 3dB gain in two directions. It requires only 10m garden length and can be configured to also operate on 40m, 15m and 10m as well as 20m. Even 80m operation is possible with a simple home made add-on.
