  • Brassica confusion.

    OK so I have read the books and am still not sure..

    What needs liming ?
    What needs really firming in ?
    What needs manuring ?

    I am growing ...

    Sprouts
    cabbage (Hispi)
    calabrese
    Kale
    Romanesco

    So I thought I would ask the experts

    I would be a perfectionist, but I dont have the time

    They all need firming in, esp the tall ones that stand over winter (or else they get windrock: get loose).

    They only need liming if you have acidic soil (I never bother)

    Use manure as a soil improver if you like, but not at the same time as liming (it tends to be acidic). I never bother.

    Chicken pellets are alkaline, so you can use those in place of lime, if you like
