Yesterday I finished digging over the bulk of the Potato patch, this patch measures 340 sq ft, there is still about 250 sq ft to clear and dig over but there are still Parsnips and Leeks in the ground. But at least I have prepared the ground for all the 1st Early Spuds 'Anya and 'Foremost' maybe the 'Charlotte' too, these are 'chitting' now on a cool window sill.So on Thursday I went to a local Stables. I half filled (too heavy if filled) 12 compost bags with well rotted Horse Muck, all that muck filled my car (with the seats down). So today I spread out 6 bags of the muck, will leave it on the surface to break down for a week or two, then I will get my Rotovator out and mix it well into the soil ready for planting the Spuds.
Thanks for reading/returning. Ian
Blimey you have been busy! I had a look at my rhubarb yesterday and nothing is happening yet.
ReplyDeleteI moved it over winter to a safe place away from the hens as they would insist on chomping on it!
Good luck for the new growing season
from wigglywoo & chickens too x
Ooh good, I hope they didn't chop on the leaves, they are poisonous!

ReplyDeleteAll looking good I need to get myself a trailer and pick up some muck from our stables,did it last year in the works van but have a smaller one now.
ReplyDeleteI normally get a trailer load of Cow Muck delivered, but been told Horse Muck is better & a local stables lets me have it for Free! Have to collect it myself though.
DeleteTime's running away from us. We can't dig the plot as it's just too wet. Hope the wet weather stops really soon so we can get on with some proper digging and clearing. So good to see the few signs of new life though isn't it?
