I sowed carrots and parsnips in the last week of April, they are now just starting to show leaves/stems, is there any fertilizer i could apply to give them a boost. Also i have good cabbage plants, should some of the leaves be removed to help the head form better?
What is the best organic fertilizer to use for cabbage plants. Is chicken manure pellets ok for cabbage and what about the use of seaweed for potatoes. Whats best for carrots and parsnips?
Both my escallonia and laurel hedging are struggling, what is the best fertilizer to use, bearing in mind that cow and horse manure are not really an option as it's sheep country where i am located.
This year gone by was the first year i had a vegatable garden. I had a lot of dock leave weeds, should i spray the garden now in preparation for next spring. Also due to bad weather i did not get a chance to dig out 2 ridges of potatoes, what should i do with these in relation to getting the garden ready for next spring as the lower end of the garden became vey wet by October
I am looking for advice on how to create a compost heap, i have lawn cuttings, also this year i have planted a vegatable garden. Can i put old potatoe stalks, cabbage leaves, carrot leaves etc in to a compost heap. Should the compost heap have a concrete base.
