Clean up:
Rake up leaves and dirt that has built up around the vegie patch to help discourage pests and diseases and create a nice clean space to work in. Chuck it all in the compost.
Weeding:
Weeds still grow in the cold and can be a useful cover crop when not much else is growing. Itâs important to keep on top of them though around your winter dormant plants such as asparagus and rhubarb, as they can cause root competition and disturb the crowns. Itâs a good time to remove them before planting new crops too.
Soil & food:
Itâs vital that the soil is in good shape, ready for new crops to be planted. Check the soil pH by using a test kit. Close to neutral (a pH of 7) is perfect for most vegies. If itâs on the acidic side, fork in some lime 2 weeks before planting.
Next, rake back mulch and loosen up the soil, which is especially important for root crops. Then add lots of compost, aged manure or blood and bone and lay mulch on top.
Itâs feeding time for perennials too. As rhubarb starts to sprout itâs the perfect time for a feed. Tino applies a large helping of blood and bone around the plant, covered with a layer of compost.
Crop rotation:
Brassicas are heavy nitrogen feeders and itâs best not to plant them in the same spot year after year, or pathogens could build up. Instead plan to rotate crop families. Plant a legume or root crop after brassicas as they donât require as much nitrogen, or if youâre determined to plant another heavy feeder such as potatoes, refresh the bed with plenty of new food.
Planting:
If youâre keen to get a crop in straight away, Tino recommends choosing seeds over seedlings. Go for a quick producer such as radishes, lettuce, or parsley, that will be in and out in 6 weeks. Donât plant too much too early if youâre in a cool climate as young plants will suffer in the chill. And donât forget to leave some room - there will be plenty more to plant as the weather warms up!
Featured Plants:
ASPARAGUS - Asparagus officinalis cv.
(Check before planting: this may be an environmental weed in your area)
RHUBARB - Rheum x hybridum cv.

Listening to more gardeners talking about no dig and the redundancy of crop rotation and having a lot more success in my garden.
Totally agree, no dig has changed my garden for the better!
yeah, after just watching loads of no dig. This looks painful lol.
Agree with no dig, not sure about ditching crop rotation though đ€

First đđ
Oh no. Don't rip out the brassicas. Cut them at ground level and leave the roots to rot under ground.
Why?
@@terriyule7330 itâs called âchop and dropâ, and the roots (and dropped leaves) put nutrients back into the soil. Charles Dowding has experimented with no crop rotation as well as dig vs no dig (no dig generally has greater yield). Check him out.
Second?
Jesus, this guy.......
This program has lost it's way.đ
care to elaborate?
please expound on your conclusion?
