Vegatables that help convert grassland into workable veggie patch?
gogo wrote in
: Last Spring, I planted some purple broccili there. They didn;t ptoduce any flowering tops, but did a great job of smothering all the grass and weeds. At the end of the season, I found they were easy to pull up and chuck onto the compost heap, leaving teh ground much easier to work. not really replying to your main question but: I know you said you are not a Broccoli fan, but are you sure they were not a variety which produce on the second year? The ones I have at home have to spend one winter in the beds before producing the second year.. Gosh, no! I had no idea that might be the case! Oh well, it just as well that I'm not really a broccili fan! Thanks to everyone for the replies. The pumpkin/squash/marrow idea sounds perfect, as I am a big fan of those, especially marrows / courgettes. The cardboard mulch idea is intereting. However, does it not create an absolute breeding haven for slugs and snails? (Both are a nightmare where I live.) Al |
