I been a bit lazy,the beetroot and the silverbeet crops are growing too well. I regular water carrots are ok.I know do NOT fertilise carrots,got to separate the other stuff. AND potato and broad beans ok.I even know the broad beans like alkaline soil,potato like acidic. not huge difference,Im not science. I reckon beans are 7.5,the potato's are about 6. I gonna hit them potassium soon,then they stop being leaf. Spinach is brill,good for ya. Gaz
