Our main veg patch has and is being very successful - due I am sure to the
amount of manure and compost which has been dug into it over the past couple
of years.

A couple of months ago we rotavated a strip in our adjoining field to enable
us to extend our range of veg. Courgettes (which we had grown from seed in
the greenhouse) are doing fine - having been planted with lots of compost.
But the seeds we sowed - broad beans, french beans, carrots and sweetcorn -
and "thinnings" of cabbages and cauliflowers are not doing so well.

I am sure they need some sort of feed but not sure what. Hubby scattered
chicken manure pellets around but that doesn't seem to have helped.

Any suggestions?
