Hi Gerry, after replanting that area twice with summer cabbage I scraped everything off and started again. I used horse manure which had chopped straw in it and was about 3 months old. I planted strong red cabbage plants into this and they were excellent.
I live in Chinley and got the green waste compost from the Derbyshire County Council site at Dove Holes – absolutely no weeds and minimal slug damage. Like you it’s normally slug city central here. This was my first year no dig and I am amazed how good most of my crops were with no extra fertiliser. Only downside is that now all that compost has disappeared it has revealed quite a lot of small plastic debris hidden amongst it
I am picking this off – it is not a big job and I would use this product again.
