Looks like this fella probably harvests his own mulch from the inter rows
(not that it shows that at all)
The deeper the mulch towards the 1 foot mark the better I recon(over time from when they are babies)

So.... snow pea seeds planted on 29 May 2019
showed their heads on the 06 June
jumping ahead now on the 20 June.
Full length this year instead of just half the bed
cut back that Citronella Geranium(left foreground) in favour of the snow peas(kept the bits to grow once they callous over where I cut them off)
and planted up some extras that were already on the go(saving time)
and I'm gunna extend the trellis upwards by about 3 feet this year for the snowpeas

Snow peas doing well collies, spinnach and spuds are going well. Small pumpkin plants aren't liking this cold weather much.

Got 4 rain water tanks 2/3 full, got town water but area is on extreme water restrictions.
Front varandah has been enclosed with windows, perfect seedling green house.
20xwater. Can you put up some happy snaps of your property to make us envious
Cow poop is great for plants, but for seeds I would probably start with just the seed raising mix you have there. Once they are growing and are showing there true leafs you can carefully transer them into a larger pot or into the ground that way the weeds that come with the cow poo wont get mixed up with the little seedlings and you will have less fungal problems.20xwater said:

While the seeds are starting off in the seed raising mix dig the back end chunder into the bed where they will be growing and water it in. ... that way it can be starting the ground micrology into reproductive growth
pour a bit of milk around the new bed too... that'll give the bacteria a good head start.erfect:

erfect:Cheers, GF and silver..first seeds will be razzamatazz chilli, packet says best temps 15-20 so will have to grow in pots in the sunroom.
Collected 2 Barrow loads of cow poo yesterday, tilled garden beds with a hoe but haven't added poo yet. I'm in Warwick Qld, not the best time of year for vegies outside even if I start start seeds now right?
Gotta muck out the old chook loft so will have that to add to. Should I wait for end of winter to add manures for 'ground micrology' ?
