I've just moved my chickens out of the greenhouse (they eat the bugs, the weed seeds and fertilise as they go permaculture and dope growing go so well together!) and have started my new bed for the "girls".
I've dug it all over added heaps of well rotted compost from my bins (although I say it myself I am a King compost maker), everything that I have from my wormery, a bag of well rotted horse shit and a bag of multi purpose compost, dug in a handful of lime, watered with a little molasses water and a great new organic seaweed extract from Shropshire seaweed covered it with black polythene to prohibit seed growth and clear plastic to heat up the soil.
If my plants don't take off in that mix I'll eat my fucking hat!
Aiming to plant my first lot under a cloche in April and hopefully harvest every month by sexing my regulars in pots first before planting in my bed.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed?
