Mulch for cabbages

[jonny211]

Hiya,

I'd like to mulch around my cabbages.... would well rotted manure be any good as I didn't manure the ground before planting, and would hope that manure as a mulch wouldn't be too rich for them.

All thoughts are welcome.

Go for it :)
Any leafy veg such as cabbage loves nitrogen and manure provides that but dont let the mulch touch the cabbage as it may burn it if the manure is fresh.

Cool, I'll give that a try then.
