I've still not decided how i'm best to plant them. I've a 5m x3m bed which has a thin layer of manure spread as a mulch. I have 20 Early's, 14 second early's, 10 early main and 20 late main. I know i won't get them all in that space so will grow a few in some old bins i have. Took over my plot last year and although i've cleared most of the weeds i'm worried they'll come back-had'nt been used for bout 10 year, Loads of Coach grass. I have a big roll of weed membrane which i'm planting most of my veg through and access to more well rotted dung. Should I:
1) Cover with membrane and plantstraight through it?
2) Risk it and leave uncovered tackle the weeds as they come, put manure in the planting trench and earth up?
3) Build mounds on the soil with manure/soil and cover this with membrane(maybe even bulk up the mounds with straw if this is ok)?
4) Read somewhere bout coach grass growing through spuds, so similar idea to number 3 but building the mounds on cardboard to stop the coach grass getting them and covering with membrane?
5) Any better ideas?
Thanx in advance for your help people, brains fried trying to work outs whats best, must of changed my mind a dozon times already
