terryd 8,112 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 fingers crossed jj do you manure your beds at all ? I see you have plenty of leeks too I wish I had planted more been having a couple every weekend and will soon get through them. Next year I will have a better idea of amounts that I need. In other news picked up some flower tubs from morrison today. About a gallon in size for 99p per 8 but the bundles were actually 10 will use them for the toms next year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

just jack 997 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 yes Tel i do manure but not were we put the carrots, i got told they like manure so we didn't bother, its our first season as you will probably know but we have found that we need to get the timing/space it out a bit better when planting as you end up with stuff going to shit not the tatties mind as they store ok but more the brassica side of things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I need to sort my timings out which will come with experience. Also more spacing between rows so I can hoe easier with out any worries Quote Link to post Share on other sites
just jack 997 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 i think its a case of bang a few in and then leave it month or maybe 2 and plant again trial and error mate. we got a few onions but some went to shat with white rot but i think they were to close to be honest 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
