A nice nitrogen fixing green manure is a great thing to add before a brassica crop as they require a lot of nutrients to produce lush and prolific leaves. Something like clover or legumes would be perfect. :)

You have made such a beautiful blog, both in content and style.

Would you suggest a green manure crop before planting brassicas in a bed that was previously planted with umbeliferae?

That’s really interesting that you use kitty litter to deter snails,I love it when people come up with alternative uses for existing products. If the snails demolish all my peas like they did last winter I might have to give it a go. :)
