Feeding Broad Beans
Dear all,
I have never fed broad beans. Ours are in flower but some leaves are a bit yellowish on the plants I planted out last. What should one use? Tomato food, a mulch of garden compost, or what? Thanks for your help, Keith |

It may be that the dry spell has just made them a bit sad and they'll pick up with a drop of nutrient rich water |

It may be that the dry spell has just made them a bit sad and they'll pick up with a drop of nutrient rich water That's what I thought about my onions. The dry spell is frightening me. However, I use comfrey liquid on all my veg, but not yet as I don't sow in the Autumn and therefore once I start sowing in the spring, my comfrey is tiny (and I don't keep my potion over winter). If I was you I would water well and then mulch well which would keep the moisture around the flowering plants. I've started bringing straw to the lotty. I've used newspaper to mulch my broadbeans in the past - I water on top to make them soggy so they don't fly away. The newspapers that is not the broadbeans ;o) |
