cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Good work. Watch the whin bush in the back, she'll take over your whole garden. That looks like good soil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 It's made me call and book the rototiller from the rental place! I like the idea of a path and hadn't put one in before, I don't have any paving stones, has anyone used bricks (we have a bunch of them) or are they just too much of a pain to make into a path similar to this one? It has been SO wet here for the past few months that only a couple of the farmers have harrowed or sprayed as of yet, and it rained again today so I haven't a clue when crops will be put in. Even our closest neighbor (a farmer) hasn't even put in their personal use garden yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knifebar 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 work ov art mate..hopein to start mine soon. so what ye got init then? First Picture is Queens early potatoes and second is onions each side of carrots (Early Nantes). In the distance I of second picture is the remander of early cabbages but along side I have purple srouting broccolli, cauliflowers and burssels sprouts. I also have peas, beans, lettuce, scallions, celery, leaks and strawberrys, the camera lost power but when I get batteries I shall post more pictures for you. It was a lot of work making the fence etc, damed rabbits, need a .22lr with night vision. Altought it it worth it, there is alot of work yet to be done, not just finished yet with the layout.

Even our closest neighbor (a farmer) hasn't even put in their personal use garden yet. The path is made of old paving flags (squares of sand and cement) but what you can do is dig out a path line each side with 6"x2" timber, in the path way you can lay plastic sheeting and then put 3" of sand and cement mix and rub the top with a floating trowel to get a nice surface. Using brick paving can be very time consuming but it looks nice until they turn green and then the weeds and soils gets between the joints. In wet weather cabbages will do well along with lettuces.

The wins or gorse can be treated to a good helping of Garlon 2, which sorts them out big time. Knifebar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once you get your path in place, on more trouble plus if you split your patch into three seperates areas you can use crop rotation to cut down on disease, ie, cabbages following beans etc. Knifebar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best ting to do is spray with Round-up, then in 3 weeks time clear away all debris, dig and turn the soil well, then get some farmyard manure dig in and then plant some cabbages for the back end of the season.
