My patch is evolving as the years are rolling by.Some things have had to be dropped, either lost interest, or just can't keep up, probably age related issues play a more prominent part now.I guess I'm in good company there!
So what has been happening lately?
My main veg patch needed a major boost ,I thought.So even though I rotate crops and am heavily into growing masses of green manure, It would still benefit with more compost, which I never have enough of.As my active years are dwindling, I decided to buy in some compost.
Around here, some farmers buy large quantities of compost made from council green waste and other stuff.I purchased 16 cu metres, 6 went direct onto the veg patch, 2 went into the bulb area and carnations rows and a further 8 went to developing a new area, nicked top paddock 1.
Oats plus my saved broad beans were sown which are about a metre tall.Here is a pic of them 2 months ago.They will be cut down in maybe another month.More on that area later.
