Experiments in sustainable living. Leave a comment ». I managed to get hold of some 60 litre tree containers from a tree planting contract back in spring and realised that they were ideal for experimenting with a polyculture of vegetables and leaves. 60L is an ideal size for a patio pot. They are pre-moulded with drainage holes, have carrying handles and can be moved about when dry by one strong person or two semi-strong ones. A typical and well know group is;. Spinach. Ideal early in the year as it ...

First lets investigate...

Experiments in sustainable living. Intensive Organic Salad Leaf Production. Leave a comment ».

Seedlings coming up after 3-4 days. 4 Cover with a sheet of glass or cling...
