I've just asked Linda to write a bit on it to teach us! :)<br /><br />With the spuds, we dig a big trench and hill all the soil up on either side of it. Then when they grow, we just push the soil back over them. We try to plant them quite deeply too, which seems to make a difference.celiahttp://www.figjamandlimecordial.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-43099666113383949562012-11-06T09:27:41.906+10:302012-11-06T09:27:41.906+10:30I do enjoy watering by hand.

But in the morning while the drip irrigation is running I am now able to be busy doing other things in the garden, and every aspect of gardening has its pleasures.Jason Dingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208335330160649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-65023551893893167092012-11-06T09:23:28.325+10:302012-11-06T09:23:28.325+10:30Thanks, yes I am very pleased with the cauli, and ...Thanks, yes I am very pleased with the cauli, and I still got more coming. 8kg of potato that's impressive. We would have had more if I had paid more attention to covering them. Over half were green. I haven't quite got the sequential bit down pat either. I think one trick is to be starting new seedlings every time the chooks move. Using the same seedling set for multiple beds doesn't seem to stagger them.Jason Dingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208335330160649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-63006788641548678502012-11-05T21:01:58.209+10:302012-11-05T21:01:58.209+10:30Wonderful!

I'm sure you will love the drip irrigaion, I have some around my berries and fruit trees and it is a life-saver (or at least lots-of-time-saver)Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225621037420851059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-77785288944557332652012-11-05T20:24:48.317+10:302012-11-05T20:24:48.317+10:30Jason, look at all your gorgeous produce!

We're about to hit a gap though - we still haven't quite figured out this sequential planting bit, and all the beds look like they're about to run out at the same time!celiahttp://www.figjamandlimecordial.comnoreply@blogger.com
