Hi everyone.

 

Three questions for everyone. 

 

One - Do you add farm manure to your soil before planting winter squash? I am planning on doing it next year and i am not to sure. As far as i no you do but i am just looking to see if anyone can confirm it for me.. thanks

 

Two - how many pea shoots does it take to wight a 50g bag

 

Three - how many parsley plants does it take to make a 50g bag. (10 seeds per pot)

 

Any help will be very helpful... thanks

    Hi Sean, Squash are greedy feeders so adding well-rotted manure (or any good general purpose fertiliser) to the planting position will really help them to grow well.  Don't use fresh manure though - compost that first.  I can't answer the other questions.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
