| g'day blackcat, i plant all my summer crops straight after all the brassicas are gone, in our case and the way we do it we mulch the spent plants back where they grew, so if need be we plant beside that spot or if app' 2 weeks elapses and the mulching has finished or well advanced we plant in that spot, any unmulched material is simply pulled back enough to allow planting. the mulching occurs under the mulch hay that we use. never had any issues with this system, and the medium gets lots of nutrients. all our kitchen scraps go the same way, no fertiliser is ever used. len |
