Spec's Garden - I am thinking of a complete change

That’s just what I do on the veg beds. In the spring I remove anything that hasn’t rotted and sow/plant in the ground. What un rotted material I don’t have space for between the rows of spuds goes on the compost heap. It doesn’t pose a problem and where I have inadvertently dropped the odd seed head I have actually got some rather nice new perennial plants. Just need to find room for them now!! It’s sheet composting and saves a huge amount of effort lugging it to the compost heap and back again. The other up side of it is there are no weeds to remove. Top off the waste with grass cuttings and leaves and by spring most of it will have gone and it doesn’t look too bad through the winter.
