Brockmans: Some of the huge pile of new compost
Brockmans – Jason says “So the prep for the new season has started in earnest. From acquiring and then transporting the first 400 of what will probably be 1000 tonnes of compost to choosing and planting the first round of seeds and repairing machinery. We have planted a lot in recent weeks/months to help fill the inevitable and often called “hungry” gap. The field crops are coming to an end and what is left will then bolt (go to seed) and so there is a gap between the old crop and the new. Fortunately we have the multi-span and nine (unheated) poly-tunnels to keep us going.”
