Could anyone advise whether the following was a correct course of action?
I've just mulched a broad bean and potato raised beds with old peat-free compost to:
Retain moisture
Add nutrients to the soil
Put the old compost to some use
I made sure it wasn't piled up around the stems of the broad beans, in order to prevent rot. The potatoes had soil/manure mounded up around them and I just covered the mounds and surrounding soil.
Thanks in advance. |
