If you don't have spare manure, grass cuttings work well in trenches since tatties like the acidity. Then, comfrey can go on top before you ridge them

Ooooh grass cuttings, I can get hold of some of them.

and as I'm doing my first earlies tomorrow..

What sort of depth of grass cuttings would you recommend whisky golf. (or anyone else for that matter)

Oh, I see you've got the thread back on-topic Mandy!

Not critical but maybe around an inch deep of grass cuttings.

:oops: Most welcome, I'm sure.

You do realise that your Lottie secretary is going to give you a completely different method tomorrow!! I won't be offended if you follow his advice to the letter since I am too far away to give you free cabbages!!
