hi sid. i'm quite new to having an allotment, and loads more people will post with a lot more knowledge than me, but i'm sure cabbages broccoli sprouts etc dont like manure.
thanks wat about beens
sprouts,cabbage,parsnips dont like recently manured grond.You can put beans,peas,salad stuff http://www.powen.freeserve.co.uk/veg/vegmenu.html#index Have a look at this site for more info
thanks for the link i will try the beens its just a shame to waste all the ground i have put 5 stone of spuds in one plot and ther is loads of room so the beens can go ther thanks again
:o
Blimey!!! 5 stone of spuds? Have your relatives got a chippy?!!
;)
lol no just a lot of kids and a very big allotment
Hi Sid, I think as long as you firm them in well cabbage would do ok in manured ground .. I usually grow my caulies this way as I find it helps retain moisture.. Only things I wouldn't put in fresh manured ground would be roots as in carrots,beetroot and parsnips etc... But make sure you firm them in when planting .Cheers Jim.
