I'am confused
« on: March 20, 2014, 19:46 »
    Evening all
               I would like to establish a four year rotation plan, as this will be the first year
                 should I manure three of the plots? I've read the plan and it would seem only one plot per year
                 is manured. what to do!!
                 
keep on digging

I was in that situation last year.  I manured the potatoes, broad beans,sweet corn, squashes and lettuces and runner beans.  Every thing else was just fertilised with chicken pellets and bfb.  Other roots and alliums I composted with shop bought compost.  Brassicas were just fertilised and then around June I mulched everything but the potatoes with mushroom compost.  Worked for me.

Click on the "Grow Your Own" tab at the top and see Johns articles on rotations.. they are really good.
