Not sure whether it was a coincidence or not but thought worth sharing.
Last year I sowed a large bed with crimson clover and planted my brassicas amongst it...later found out I was meant to dig it in first but it was a bit late once I'd planted my sprouts and PSB.
Anyway,not only did I get my best crop of sprouts and PSB ever but had another pleasant surprise yesterday....it was time to dig the bed and I suspected it would be much like the rest of that plot...rock hard clay like soil.....instead it was a really easy dig,the ground had retained it's moisture and literally crumbled into rich loveliness as I turned it.
Like I say,don't know if it was mere coincidence but the rest of the plot really has got to the stage where you can't even get a fork/spade into the ground,so maybe the clover worked some miracles?
It looked very pretty too
