Set up vegetable garden and start some winter salads

Autumn is the best way to improve the soil in your vegetable garden.
The best way to improve most garden soils is to spread organic matter on top of the soil and allow the worms to drag it into the soil, in doing so improving the soil for you. They eat the organic matter mixing it with the soil. Additional organic matter in most soils helps with drainage, water retention and the soil’s workability.
As you add organic matter you will find the number of worms quickly increases in numbers. The organic matter can be garden compost, well rotted manure or spent mushroom compost from commercial mushroom growers.

Towards the end of September, it’s time to think about creating some salad and other vegetable crops that can be grown for winter use. Especially useful are Perpetual Spinach, Wok Broc and winter lettuce.
Crops can be created by sowing from seed or buying young plants such as purple Purple Sprouting Broccoli Plants
