Please could someone give me some advise on whether to feed the veg on my lottie or not?. This is the first year I've managed to plant anything on it but there has been no manure or soil conditioners put on it for a few years.
I've got:
runner beans
potatoes
caulis
cabbages
sprouts
carrot( i know these dont like feeding)
courgettes
strawberries
leeks
onions
shallots
broccoli
sweetcorn
So which do I feed and when, how often and with what???
thanks in advance

Jo,
Redclanger's advice is sound.
Your soil should be fertile enough this year, but do water the winter greens(leeks are hardy)sweet corn/courgettes & runners if the weather has been dry, like this week!

Poatoes, I feed them when I plant, scatter a handfull of pellets in the trench for each one.
Sweetcorn like a feed 3 or 4 weeks after planting out

Strawberries when they start blooming, side dress with with dried manure and plenty water when the fruits are forming through harvest.
