Mulching

 


If you get a much needed shower of rain, it’s a good idea to mulch. Use well-rotted compost material, cardboard, or part decayed grass clippings between the rows and around the plants. This stops evaporation losses, and will also give your crop  nutrients and helps the next shower soak into the soil.

Mulching also helps to keep down the weeds – another benefit!

This is the last time that it is possible to sow carrots, you should harvest at the end of October
