    Default Preparing veggie patch

    So I'm going to be doing a veggie patch this year just for things like potatoes, carrots, broccoli etc I was wondering how to prepare my soil what should I add to it if it isn't to late already?

    Hey twisted . Nice man .

    What youll want to do is , work in as much organic matter as you can .
    Leaves , food scraps (no oily stuff) , fish . Seaweed if you can . A good 2" layer of compost + leaves will get ya well started , best do it now so it can break down and feed the soil .
    I tend to avoid using manures , its very hot and needs to fully decompose over winter ,especially chicken shit , causes a shitload of weeds , weeds and more weeds .lol

    Start yourself a compost pile/bin .

    Ill go more in detail tomorrow , gotta feed ladies and get kiddoes to bed . walk dog etc lol never endin round here 😂😂😂

    Nice twisted, if your going to grow carrots I'd grow them in some fine soil, with no sticks and what not in it and put them in some 5" waste pipe. The stuff that runs down the side of you house. Grow perfect straight carrots.
    I'd grow your potatoes in a bag too otherwise Mr worm could take a fancy to em. Mine were battered last year.
    Any fruit/veg that grows above ground i plant straight into the ground. Any root veg in a container.
    Good luck lad 🖒✌

    Love it twisted

    I'm fully considering turning my front garden into a veggy garden

    I'm just not 100% sure how that would work in the uk and if it may draw unwanted attention

    I remember this when I did a job at a guys house up on t,hills like.
    His land had a lot of sand in it and he was telling me how perfect the land was for carrots, get rocks and stuff in the way and they don't quite look like supermarket carrots.

    Other thing about carrots is they used to be purple until the Dutch took a big fancy to the orange ones and it just became the common carrot we all know and love, sure you can still get the coloured ones but just shows some of the expertise the Dutch gardeners have, their plant experts.


    Grow your own medicine.

    Anything man , chop in smal pieces so it can decompose faster .

    But best of all is start a compost pile . Get a bail of hay or straw , shipping pallets . screw pallets together , make a bin , place chucnk of straw in bottom and build your pile , a 3x3' pile is the best . leaves , any organic matter toss it in man . turn pile every 3-4 days
