Brassica bed prep

At this time of year I should leave it lumpy so the birds can get as many bugs as possible.    Cheers,     Tony.

Waves to totalnovice from another clay patch.

My brassicas improved no end with adding lime to sweeten the soil. We sell it down the gardeners association as magnesium lime and the local garden centre sells it as acidity regulator (there's a £6 price difference due to their pretty packaging).

I also found that the more compost I have added the better the soil has become for everything including brassicas. Being a bit risk averse and knowing that people have had problems with chemicals in manure, I have been compost making like heck over the past few years.

 your lucky totalnovice my Lottie  is still very wet i went down the other day with a load of dung and the trailer went up to its Axel's

 the advise given is well worth noting
