Asparagus and Broad beans
I planted 16 Asparagus crowns a couple of weeks ago and am now planting
broad bean seeds around each crown. The idea is both to mark, support the Asparagus and for the beans to give a nitrogen boost to the Asparagus as it grows. David @ a dull but dry side of Swansea Bay. |

Just in the middle of starting myslef a large bed, 20 crowns, today sorted out some old chicken wire to put down deep to keep out our plague of moles. Not sure I will use broadbeans to add anything to the soil, my crowns are getting better fed than me. |
