Reply To: Brassicas in manured beds

[Sausage]

The other issue often mentioned with manure and brassicas is acidity. If you’re really worried about that you could lime the bed against clubroot, but personally I haven’t noticed well-rotted manure being acidic. I’ve planted brassicas into it before without any problems and after all, your manure was only a surface mulch. Walking on the beds once the soil dries out a little may help to break up any remaining surface lumps.
