you are still plucking them?

i've had two from late flowers bonus really

all dug up here, ready to put the ash from the wood burner and the chicken shit on and rotovate it all back in again ready for next year, then it all starts again lo. good health to you all and you plants

 

Are you putting them both in at the same time? As I was told lime and manure should be added at different times as each if added together they cancel each other out in benifits to the soil.

 

Are you putting the ash where you are going to plant potatoes next year? From what I have read it is not a good idea as the ash raises the PH levels of the soil to the detrement of the potatoes.The brasicas will enjoy the ash though.

I am spreading the whole lot over the whole plot and f**k the consequences . nitrogen in the chicken shit and potash in the woodash will do more good than harm, chicken shit is getting put on at this time of year for the elements to have a chance of "tameing" the very potent high nitrogen content of the shit.. diluting it almost, otherwise my plot next year would look like Dresden , after the bombing ...............

Pink fir apple JJ? Never tasted them or grew them to be honest. Whats the best chips mashed roast etc with these?

[terryd 8,467]

What variety jj ? you seem to have plenty any way. If I get my second plot I might dedicate it to spuds next year. great not having to buy them and we eat loads. With a spud in the house you all ways have a meal. Only had a few short rows this year but still got few left.

pink fir yes, i got these gifted but i'm saving some to replant next year, chips, mash, roast i havn't a clue mate all i did with these was give them a good scrub with the nailbrush ( the wifes ) and chopped them in half for a boil, great with butter, the wife likes them as a salad tatty but i think they are a main bollocks to that
