This is a bit of a ‘moment’ for me, the first germinating seeds for this season at Greenslate. We are trying onions in seed blocks and they are bobbing their heads up a week after sowing.
Have you done a jam jar soil test?The soil at Greenslate contains more sand than I expected with nearly 50% content in this sample that I took from the market garden area.
Neil, we’ve had some deep trenches dug during developements at greenslate and there were a few ‘silver sand’ seams cut through as digging took place. I think that area to the right of the polytunnel door (in the corner) could be one such area.

Thanks, I think we will have to look at the drainage situation across the site.
