Frequently Asked Questions
This section will be added to as I get more questions. Please use the contact form to send a question you would like answered.
What plants should I grow ?
What you like to eat ! Obviously do some research if your climate and time of year is appropriate. People with a conservatory or greenhouse can expand their planting/growing season.
Will this method work with a flower garden ?
Yes ! What I called cover crops can be any flowering plant that you desire. Please put something on your annual beds off season, so that there are always plants on it or a nice mulch to feed the soil.
Which should I choose - mulch or cover crops ?
Cover plants always win as they increase the soil microorganism. Mulch can be used as a temporary measure or when plant spacing is large.
Should I put weed-membrane under the compost ?
If the compost goes over a fairly weed free soil, best not to use membrane. The important microbes can then get at the root of the plants more easily.
