using site of old muck heap
« on: October 13, 2006, 14:08:45 »
I've dug in the last of my old muck heap....sarted 18 month's ago as 5 tons of 2 year old stuff.  My question is, will the ground under the old heap be super fertile or super sour?  What would be the best crop to plant on the site to maximise on the goodness leached into the soil over the last 18 months?  Thanks...broke back Dinger....going for a soak in the Hot Tub... :)

second that as it will be very well rotted down now for brassicas  :) or any other 'greedy' fruit/veg such as pumpkins, courgettes, cucs, - it it were younger and more 'raw' I would suggest spuds

I had a delivery dumped over the hedge about ten years ago and that bit still produces the best runner bean crops I've ever had...
