My internet connection just crashed jettisoning my reply – apologies if this is a repeat if the earlier message somehow got through!
Thank you very much for your reply Charles, in light of what you say, might it be sensible to start with putting polythene down for a few months, then the green manure for 12+ months, sowing in say late summer, then mulch – though that would extend the time before I can start cropping…?
Also how much compost shall I need for this area 200’x30′)? Cornwall Council’s subcontractor sell it by the ton.
With many thanks to you and your fantastic site.
Best wishes,
