Post by: salixer on December 08, 2021, 19:36

Am planning to set aside a small plot on my land next year for some serious veg' growing.  Your AG forum looks really great and is clearly THE place to be for friendly and experienced advice.  So just to say hi for now !

Hi there & welcome to the forums. Good to have a plan & yours sounds great. How much land do you have & what size will the veg plot be? Take a look on the home page & you can start a diary thread just for you but you can link in a comments thread where we can give encouragement  :D

Having several acres to play with (lucky me) I can make the veg plot as large as I can manage !  However, small rather than large envisaged to start off.  I have both a recently rebuilt Howard 300 rotavator as well as a Mantis rotavator available to create a well-tilled virgin "plot", but the new plot size will depend on time and stamina for the prep's and on the inevitable manual hoeing requirement around/between the plantings !!
