    Wikipedia offers a very good description of the ancient burgage system of land management.

    Here is a link to Pembroke town history - chosen not as it's the best but because it has accessible maps.

    Attached below is one of those maps showing the burgage plots where I can identify the plot I currently use as a #VegPlot.

  7. @pawsforthought @compost i've done some searches on the subject because i prefer to use the most local product i can. People that have done this will either use sawdust or compost made out of wood chips.

    In my mix i definitly use #wormcasting that makes the germination rate of the seeds a lot higher. It is best done when just harvested because still moist.

  10. @spenbroc @pawsforthought you are quite welcome, on this profile I talk about how to make #CompostAthome because it is something everyone can do especially if they are concerned for the #climate.

  11. Ted: What are you doing Scampi?😸
    Scampi: I’m counting my paws, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 😺
    Ted: I think you counted that one twice? 😸
    Scampi: Oops, silly me, just the five then 😺🐾

  13. @Hesperalis Oh, that Sylva Grow is expensive but peat compost shouldn’t be sold at all. It certainly shouldn’t be sold cheaper than the peat free alternatives. #Allotment #PeatFree #Compost #GrowYourOwn

  14. @graftandspur Yes, ryegrass will over winter here. So far mustard has been the next hardiest. I was hoping the oats would over winter with the rye but they haven’t.

    I grow a diverse cover crop mix from Sept and let their biomass cover the ground and feed the soil biology.

    As it’s too warm for Jan some clover and phacelia may start to come through now. The only plants I have growing at the moment are the perennials, teasel, ryegrass and the bulbs. #Zone9a #Allotment #CoverCrops #GreenManures

  20. @Hesperalis That schedule makes sense.

    Useful information I gleaned from John Kempf’s brilliant Regenerative Agriculture podcast with Harriet Mella regenerativeagriculturepodcast was the best uptake for foliar feed (from sap analysis) is the week before the full moon. The least advantageous time is the week of the new moon.

    I dabble in a bit of #RegenAg #KNF, #permaculture, #biodynamics.

    When Spring arrives I’ll be making some IMO2 in the fridge into IMO3 with bran & then IMO4 with soil.

  21. @graftandspur Yes the phacelia is a wuss with frost. The green manure mustards are a bit hardier but still shouldn’t last the winter. I had to chop and drop it last Feb/March as we hardly had a hard frost.

    I leave the stalks in for the soil life to tuck into until I start prepping the beds.

    I normally grow a Chinese or Japanese mustard green for a lovely over winter salad, but didn’t have the seed this year.

    The ryegrass as a green manure will reliably survive our winter.#Zone9a #Allotment

  24. @sam I am so sorry your wife and her colleagues have been so badly treated and left in this impossible situation. #NHSStrikes #NurseStrikes #FairPayForNursing #RCNStrike #solidarity

  25. @richrollgardener What a great job for a rainy day! I hope you got everything you were after.

    We’d call Brandywine a beefsteak variety here in the UK, is it called the same in the states? Nice haul, by the way.

    I try to grow something I’ve never grown before every year and this years debut crop is Huauzontle Aztec broccoli.

    I won’t sow anything much before March but my seedlings table is already ready and waiting in the greenhouse. #Zone9a #Allotment #Gardening #GrowYourOwn
