High there folks, i have a bit of an organic vege garden cranking. Its winter here but still able to grow some greens (what the possums left alone) and have potatoes, peas, broccoli, cabbage and leeks going. Also few herbs like parsly and marjarom, rosemary etc.
Garden hasnt been doing as well with root crops, ground is very dry and hard. I have added decent amount of manures/mulches and dry ferts, lime, charcoal, azomite and some compost. Results have been mixed but garden hasnt been worked in years and is very dry.
I also have a 'terra preta' mix in containers... brassicas grow well in this but my leeks arent really growing at all. Maybe they need more nutes or just dont grow well over winter? Onions never grew well in this native soil either.
