Reply To: Broad Bean Update

Thanks for replying Charles, I feared as much but didn’t know about the use for spraying rape until you mentioned it. Makes me wonder how much of the plot is affected as I’ve been mainly growing brassicas. There is a low hedge separating the fields from allotment but it has gaps in it.
I see Corteva are based in Fulbourn, which is about 25 miles away from me. When I was a child Fulbourn was mainly known for its mental hospital. Seems poetic somehow.
What would you do with the bean haulms? Burn them? Compost separately then test?
Looks like I’ve a lot of work to do now!
Sorry hadn’t replied earlier. I’d mislaid my password. Trying to help keep the forum going.
Thank you again
