Crop rotation advice please
All the gardening books that I have read recommend a three year crop rotation, Roots, Brassicas, Others in that order. For Others it recommends digging in manure at dig time ( I assume Autumn), the problem is that many of the Brassicas, which they follow are still in the ground until, well my cauliflowers are still there. So how can you dig in manure for the Others, surely it is too late? Must be an answer, I look forward to it and TIA. John T -- Remove the wet from towill to reply by email |

Crop rotation advice please
If you follow brassicas with root crops you shouldn't add manure for that
crop but it's all a bit technical that. People may laugh but you just have to do what you can get away with a lot of the time as there is not always the space, I find, for a proper rotation John Towill wrote: : All the gardening books that I have read recommend a three year crop : rotation, Roots, Brassicas, Others in that order. : For Others it recommends digging in manure at dig time ( I assume : Autumn), the problem is that many of the Brassicas, which they follow : are still in the ground until, well my cauliflowers are still there. : So how can you dig in manure for the Others, surely it is too late? : Must be an answer, I look forward to it and TIA. : John T |
