Hi I have just taken over an allotment and so did not have the opportunity to manure the brassica beds last year. If I am planting brassicas now how can I fertilise them?

Thanks

David

Has the allotment been lying fallow for a year or two before you took it over? If it has, you are in good shape and should be fine. All the worms and microbes are down there working the soil & restoring it to fertility. If it has been in constant use, follow Gg suggestion.

It would do no harm to surround each plant with a little sprinkling of lime. Brassicas like lime, and it will help to deter cabbage root fly too.
