The peas take a while to rot down although you can speed that up by lawnmowering them rather than just slashing them down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358765787567394445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480625152348492019.post-81856355649076352732007-04-17T23:57:00.000+02:002007-04-17T23:57:00.000+02:00Karen, I'm hoping your blog reports to your inbox ...Karen, I'm hoping your blog reports to your inbox so you can see new comments on old posts - there you go, that's as technical as I get. <BR/><BR/>Growing the right amount of stuff is trial and error for the first few years and it depends how much of stuff you eat. We're growing the same amount of carrots this year as last, but three times as many onions (I'd like four times but can't devote the beds space). <BR/><BR/>You can't plant enough potatoes, really, but they're an excellent way to claim back grassy or weedy bits of the plot, even non veg-bed bits; I've got to do this with about fifty square meters at the weekend (not as much as it sounds).<BR/><BR/>Skim off the turf and stack it in a pile somewhere to be watered and covered with tarp or thick black polythene (makes excellent loam for next year). Loosen soil with fork, add "fish, blood and bone" and muck if you've got it, plant potatoes. Earth up as the foliage grows, and harvest when ready and resow with forage peas for the winter. <BR/><BR/>Early next spring slash the peas down to ground level and spread out your loam again. That way you've dug it over twice, increased the nitrogen levels, got a crop out of it, and set it up to plant into.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358765787567394445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480625152348492019.post-88769471374872339762007-02-24T22:25:00.000+01:002007-02-24T22:25:00.000+01:00Thank you I'm so chuffed my blog got a comment yip...Thank you I'm so chuffed my blog got a comment yippee!Breezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725161176184207930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480625152348492019.post-12229245789068098222007-02-24T12:27:00.000+01:002007-02-24T12:27:00.000+01:00Hi, I love your blog and what you are doing.
