So lovely!
A note on feeding: be careful of things with a lot of nitrogen in them. Plants grow fast but nitrogen weakens them and they become susceptible to pests and diseases. Think huge farms where they use tons of nitrogen fertilizer and then are forced to use pesticides, etc because the resulting problems.
Nitrogen is necessary for plant health WHEN THE SOIL IS TOO COLD for the biology to create it. So I use it in the spring only when my soil hasn’t warmed enough. If you have healthy biology you should have sufficient nitrogen.
Cow manure doesn’t have as much nitrogen as chicken but if it’s warm now it might be too much.
This is very interesting! Thanks so much for very useful knowledge. I don’t use chicken manure at all, sometimes I allowed very little cow manure. I preferred the organic solution fertiliser.
The soil is still very warm so things are okay and we have more earthworms than previous years!
