Fix Nitrogen for next years crops

Peas are legumes, which take in nitrogen from the air and 'fix' (store) it in small nodules along their roots. When growing garden peas, don't be tempted to pull the plants up from the roots at the end of the season. The leaves and stems can be cut off at ground level and added to the compost heap, before digging the roots into the ground. As the roots break down, they release nitrogen into the soil. The nitrogen is then free to be taken up by next year's crop in a normal rotation system - try growing brassicas in this spot next year!

Hello Everyone! Spring is upon us.

Give us a call for soil, water, and plant care, advice, and full horticultural services. We love plants, all the local flora and fauna. Horticulture services range from agriculture, landscapes of all sorts, houseplants, food crops, native plants, and local ecology and resources.

Be proactive by teaming up with us. It's fun to be outside and watch things grow, change and interact. And hey, sometimes you get some food out of it, if you want. Let's plant!
