Dig in your green manures!

digging in autumn sown mustard

Its time to get our lazy winter arses into gear and go outside to dig. One of this years gang is a very enthusiastic digger, I'm constantly having to keep an eye on him, he's like a one man bulldozer! This week though he got the licence to dig when we chopped down and dug in the green manures in the community gardens.


We sowed Mustard in September, rye grass and field beans in November. All of them grew really well, the mustard in particular was very full and satisfying after only a few weeks. A passing horse though so too, he took a huge clump of it when he broke into the garden and ate nothing else!!
