Title: Feeding squashes and beans
Post by: tricia on July 07, 2014, 23:57:48
I have Moonlight and Cobra beans on wigwams and Butterbush squash plants in large containers. How often should I feed them? I'm using chicken manure pellets (a handful dissolved in a 7 litre watering can).

The four squashes in a raised bed (Crown Prince and Tromboncino) are growing like triffids even though they have only been fed once!

For my runners, I buried a whole lot of kitchen waste beneath them, and just give them some fresh compost mulch a few times. They seem to thrive on that!
