Was digging several free beds today in ideal conditions. Digging is almost a pleasure when loose soil gives up it's weeds so easily. I couldn't source my faourite Winter Tares locally, I sowed mainly red clover in among other things, more for the soil structure and organic matter thing than the nitrogen fix. I tend to stay away from mustard because of the brassica thing. I grow it at home though as a sprout on a "flannel"
Two or three hours digging tomorrow morning to get the other neglected bits up to scratch and then sown with green manures before the rains come middayish... perfect timing to get the seeds going. That'll be all of the green manure sorted, and no need to do anything else for a few weeks while I sadly have to find a new source of trusted animal manure.
