Hi all, having spent my first growing season bunging everything in and seeing what worked (unsurprisingly.. Not much!) I've done the following and am hoping some kind soul can tell me if I am beginning to learn - or going backwards.
I inherited raised beds from the last plot holder. Two I have covered in black plastic/fabric, one with raspberries planted through it and one with artichokes and fruit bushes, with sprinkler hoses underneath too. One I have dug over and covered with cardboard and then a layer of rinsed seaweed - but I've had conflicting advice about whether the seaweed should be on or under the cardboard. What do you think?
Finally (sorry, zillion questions) I dug over a bed, sprinkled blood bone and fish pellets, forked in a bag of compost and planted psb and cabbage plugs.
Do you think any of this will work? The other half of my plot is held by a crazily productive person and I think the committee might be regretting giving me a go!
Thanks in advance o learned ones
