To cover or not
I've prepared a plot for next year's runner beans (trenching, etc) and
am wondering what to do with it over the winter. I could of course just leave it bare. I looked at green manures/cover crops but the only one I could sow now is Field Beans which doesn't seem a very good idea. Suggestions? Steve Harris - Cheltenham - Real address steve AT netservs DOT com |

My father always used to put his compostable stuff into the trench that he had dug, so that there was some there ready for spring. I seemed to work well, he also lined the trench with old newspapers.
