Took it over last November and dug, dug, dug clearing as much weed as possible and left it rough till Spring this year . Raked it lots to remove stones and produce tilth. Now I have 5 beds to rotate in the order: Potatoes, then Onions/Leeks, then Legumes, then Brassicas, then Roots, then Potatoes again to restart cycle. Most crops are now in. But not knowing soil history , how to feed plants? I am thinking of applying ChemPak No 2 (high nitrogen) to everything until July and then switch to ChemPak No 8 (low nitrogen , high potassium/phosphorus) for rest of season except for Brassicas. Legumes would get ChemPak No 8 throughout growing season as they dont need a lot of nitrogen. Does this make sense? Yours... Hairy Legs (South East , UK) Watching "Country Matters" last night the farmer there seems only to use nitrogen. Now to cut unnecessary fertiliser he is using aerial mapping then a GPS controlled fertiliser applicator, should we club together and buy one? ;-) Wow!! I only got 150 sq metres. I just use watering can!! Yours... Hairy Legs |
