Hi
Having moved to Brittany in October, I'm just starting out on what I hope will be the rest-of-a lifetime of growing wonderful veggies in the garden. We've spent ages trying to set things up to make life easier as we get older, and now I can't wait to get started! I had a few bits and pieces planted last year, but I'm basically starting from scratch. So some advice would be wonderful please .
I have a limited amount of what looks like reasonable home made compost, some well rotted and some slightly less so but still quite usable I would think.
I have lots of new veggie beds, some raised (over weed supp), some in the ground (ex-grassland, cultivated 5 years ago but then left). I also have raised beds in a large polytunnel with weed-supp underneath. All these beds are currently filled with an assortment of things of varying usefulness and horrors-to-come - some turfs, some soil from a neighbour's woodland, some compost from our local recycling centre, some soil from our own garden.
Naturally, I want to plant 'everything' this year! What would be the best use of my home-made compost please? I can't get any further compost from the recycling centre until at least May/June, provided it's ready then.
Thx
