Not much growing in March. Have topped the the beds with some rotted horse manure and the field bean plants are growing very slowly. I'm using them to fix nitrogen and to add organic matter to the soil.
The fig tree was moved into the mini green house with bottles of water (to act as thermal stores) for the winter. I threw in a handful of
field beans, which are doing better then those in the beds. I'll chop and drop these into the pot once the weather warms.
The
comfrey is making a come back and will be back stronger their first year. I'll be using the leaves to make a liquid feed.
Here's another. I have a third also. They act as nutrient pumps bringing nutrients deep down up into their leaves. Come late summer I'll split each one and transfer three new plants to my allotment
In this corner I have two bags filled with autumn leaves from the front garden which should give me leaf mould come next autumn. I purchased the
mushroom log which has mushroom spoors placed into drilled holes. Lets see how it turns out.
