Anyone got there plot plan sorted yet? I have rotovated my plot again today, loads of horsemuck and compost. Deciding what to put where.

just a thought, but would it have been wise to decide that before manuring?"... discipline is what the world needs today and etiquette, you know. For one of the noblest things a man can do is to do the best he can, yeah ..."

Unless it's extremely well rotted, and he's only composted the areas where the roots are going to go?Comment

True chris, but I read it that he is now deciding what to put where?

My plan is sorted: it's a (rough) 4 year rotation, so my beans are succeeding roots, my brassicas following beans, etcOriginally posted by Cranford Steve View PostAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

By all means adopt a plan, but be prepared to change that plan.(Because you will!!!!) If going for raised beds, don't make them too permanent as you will probably want to 'tweak' a few things after your first growing year.
I personally add or remove beds or structures every year for practical purposes and to give more interest to the plot.
Maybe its just me?..................but I doubt it!

Like Snadger I have a basic idea of what's going to go where but that's as far as my planning goes.
All my salad crops, carrots and parsnips will be container grown this year so that makes life a little easier.
Brassicas, tatties, aliums and legumes have their place in the rotation and bean wigwams will go wherever I decide to put them. That's it...sorted!!Comment

I have narrow beds (but without wood) and the potato bed always has the path width dug up and planted as well !
I gets more spuds that way LOLComment

What about if your a bit silly and if you fill ALL your raised beds with brassica, not realising that your going to have to use at least some of that space again for the cauli's next season...<*}}}>< Jonathan ><{{{*>Comment

I have been manuring since I got the last lot out, about 3 months ago. The manure is well rotted so should be ok.Originally posted by Fruit&2veg View Post" Thou shall not lay a hedge when the birds are nesting"Comment
