Soil Preparation, Early Spuds and Winter Pruning of Young Trees

Send us a text

It may still be Winter but there is plenty to be getting on with including preparing our beds and borders for the growing season. John Stirland takes us through the key steps, especially with heavy clay and sandy soils. We also demystify some of the jargon around seeds, such as F1s and F2s plus some tips on sowing sweet peas.  If you're new to growing your own veg, John has some timely advice on growing one of the easier crops: early potatoes, and we discuss Winter Pruning of young trees: why do it, what to do and which trees to leave well alone. Enjoy, and do check out the chapter tab if you're in a hurry.
