I shred the stalks to compost or burn them if I have enough other stuff for a bonfire. I have too many for my bean trenches.

chopped up with a spade after the chooks have stripped them (they just won't eat the stalks fussy devils)

Beans don't get bothered by clubroot though, so why not save me a job?

Spuds are going where the clubbed cabbages were, so they're seen to. (never limed last year, only 6xed).

The communal heap is getting a bit large, and considering that there's mostly nasty stuff there, I see no reason to add to it more than I need.

Might burn the biggest though - as long as I get some decent dry stuff to start it all off.

Club root remains in the soil for years.

And years.

And years.

Then some.

Eventually you'd probably get around to planting brassicas there, having forgotten where you buried the club root years ago.

Absolutely never not nohow where the new 'Patch' bean poles are DD.

They're just about concreted in, and on the edge of a precipice, with subterranean and vertical drainage pipes embedded in to make watering easier...

I ain't going to change that for several years, - even more than that...;0)

I've not started harvesting my PSB...its only just starting to look like it will sprout is this unusual?

[DD.]

No, shouldn't be sprouting until spring, although mine has.

Yours sounds about on schedule.
