Best fertilizer for broad beans
« on: October 20, 2013, 20:04 »
Got my broad beans ready to plant out.  What would be the best fertilizer to use to when planting them.  I have chicken manure grow more and grow organic. Cannot remember which I used last year definitely not the chicken because only recently bought it.  Thanks

Like peas, broad beans do not need fertiliser.

More important is to incorporate humus in the form of your own well rotted compost or manure.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
