Hi all
I cleared a very overgrown allotment last september and rotorvated the land. I then covered it over. Having uncovered a section there are a few weeds and some grass(not sure if its coach grass but its green)-see pic. My manure is fresh so wont be able to add for at least six months.
Am i ok to just dig the grass and weeds into the soil with a fork?
What fertilizers work best for my onion and potato bed?
As you can see from the other pic where i've dug my bean trench the soil looks good, well i think at least but i am a complete novice. it does'nt look sandy or clayie but just good loam. Nothing had grown here for quite some time apart from wild blackberry's and brambles which had taken over the plot. So the soil looks rich but i've no idea how many nutrients are in it. It also drains very well.
Anyone any more ideas how if i need to improve the soil?
All advice much appreciated
Cheers

Take a look at my plan and i'll keep you all posted on my progress.
The yellow section is for my chucks, brown the sheds, Green the polytunnel, Small beds on bottom half are raised built from pallets which will be filled with gp compost and where the squashes and pumkins are will be a hotbed-experiment!!!
