Another visit to the plot and another trailer load of horse litter to mulch vacant ground. Now all my 2015 potato plot has been covered - apart from the small section where the Kohl Rabi is growing. I also managed to mulch the asparagus bed and a couple of fruit bush beds.
A fortuitous visit from one of my friends from further down the site gave the opportunity to get his help to move the greenhouse frame up the plot to a mulched part - so now I can mulch the patch it was sitting on. That means at least one more trailer load next time I go down there! He came to ask for advice on how to keep the mice from decimating his Broad Bean seedlings growing in his greenhouse. I suggested he plant new ones out in the open where the sparrowhawk makes the mice more vulnerable.
Then I checked mine out as they are under a net tunnel. So far, so good! But they could do with replenishment of slug pellets, as could the peas under 'bottles'.
