yes its Parsnips again folks I know I've talked about growing Parsnips before but growing Parsnip is just the one thing I can't seem to conquer how ever more I try
methods tried paper pots peat pots modules direct sowing all not really worked so its back to the drawing board for some professional advise or to be precise brain picking from all those gardeners who grow good parsnips
so to all those professional parsnip growers how to achieve good Parsnips what is the best way to start my parsnip seed please don't tell me on a paper kitchen towel anything but that
depending on me cracking the parsnip seed germination
I intend growing my parsnips on a raised bed to I firstly cover the ground with a Bi-Degradable sheet or film then make hole in the sheet and soil and fill it with compost and sharp sand because I know parsnips take some time to actually grow so the B/D sheet would stop the weeds and at the same time give the parsnips less to complete with the weed growth ?
I know I keep rattling on about this Bi-degradable cover or sheeting but to me its seems the way forward to supress both weeds giving plants better growth saving time and effort when we could be doing other jobs on the allotment and as its Degradable it should last the time from planting to harvest
I understand this method is not every ones cup of tea I must admit but it be seems to me on the same lines
as the no dig gang so I took the chance and bought a couple of rolls of this B/D sheeting when it was on offer so its going to be a suck it and see thing next season
so as for my parsnip growing HELP
