Many crops will catch up and possibly overtake from a somewhat l...

Hybrid chicories

You have to be on your guard against all sorts of creatures. We rely very heavilt in our mobild mesh cages, not cheap but without them lots of plants would not be worth growing. They are in use somewhere for the whole season. I posted details some time ago, if you can't find it from a search I will ...

The trouble about using other peoples discards is when it comes to storage they don't stack at all well and it gets very clumsy getting the right one for a particular job.
