Before winter set in I planted green manure on some of beds to keep the weeds down. Â The barley, lupins and other seedlings are romping away now giving a thick matting of plants which in give an attractive architectural feel to the kitchen garden beds. Â Slowly but surely I’ll dig these in to nourish the soil or add them to the compost bin as a nutrient boost.
I feel in need of  a little green manure myself.  Something to boost my energy levels which seem to drain more as the days in the week pass.  No time for sitting still though with only another week to go before I’ll be packing my bags and heading to the northern hemisphere. There’s a funny thing though – for all the things I tick off my list before I go the list just seems to get longer.  How does that happen?
