Reply To: Too much compost???

[Hawfinch]

Hi John,

thank you, I always try to take advice with a dose of sodium ;-)) – I have to admit the whole thing confuses me, but as you say, it’s probably best to take Charles’ advice and continue doing what I have been doing. But I do have a problem growing peas, have from the beginning when I took over the garden, other things grow extremely well. So who knows.

Incidentally, there is an organic farmer in New Jersey, US, who gets tons of leaves delivered by his local council every autumn that he spreads on fields and then lightly works into the soil in spring, and his stuff grows extremely well.

Don – I agree, too much of anything is not good, but again, I don’t think I have that kind of amounts.

So, once again thank you to you and Don – now I’d better get on with growing stuff
