Hi Nicos
There is lots of horse poo available as they graze openly just out of town, so September time next year i will go down and get some. (There are lots of landmines around but luckily they are all fenced off, but a poor cow did get blown up a couple of years ago by standing on one) Lots of people use sheep manure, but i hear its very strong, and really needs leaving about a year. I have also heard of people using Penguin poop but i hear that's VERY strong, and can stop growth for a couple of years. They live on krill, and the stuff stinks sooooo fishy!!
You know its such a small world, the chaps in 82 were amazing, and without them we would wouldn't be the way we are today
I have potatoes, carrots, pickling onions, turnips, cabbage (red and white) onions pumpkin, peas and 4 runner beans and lettuce just to give the plots something be getting on with. It seems that people tend to focus on root crops unless they have a green house or poly tunnel then they can grow all sorts of lovely things like grapes cucumber etc.
This year in just one plot i enriched the soil with 4x soil improver, i hope that will give it a bit of a boost.
