I haven't found any more info on the maize fields mate. Haven't had much time for reading lately. However, I'm getting hopeful on a new potential plot I found at the weekend I need to go back and do a proper recce. It's an area of young pines growing haphazardly, not in rows, with lots of wild undergrowth between the trees. It will be a fight to get into the middle so that's a good thing. I'll be fighting my way in next visit to see if there's any clearings and get a soil sample. You grew next to pines last season straight in the ground, did you test a sample and do any amendments? If it's too acidic I'll be putting dolomite lime and calcified seaweed down. If it's too boggy I'll be using swamp tubes with lime in the bottom and fresh compost. Like I said I need to have a closer look but I'm getting excited about this one and if it turns out ok there'll be some photos going in. Still thinking of maize fields for back up

My soil was crap... It was sand stone and stones  few inches down .. So I had to dig holes and bring in my own soil...which was a bugger... So well worth digging a tester hole... I found heavy duty water proof trousers really helps with the brambles and gorse....good luck!

I sincerely hope not mate. We have quite a bit of snow in the Midlands which I'm sure by the end of the day will be gone or slush. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a great outdoor season. Heaven knows we are due one

Thanks for getting you name down mate

 

Kind regards

I took a sample from an area not far away from this one the other week and it was peaty/Sandy and read yellow 5-6 acidic on the colour chart from a Homebase testing kit. I'm expecting it to be more or less the same here but I will dig a hole, roots permitting.

Cheers dude

[Mcgarret]

Let the fun commence ... Lol.. Sounds different to mine.   Yeah mine was pure sand and stone... God knows  how those pine trees grow... I will have to pick one and ask him/her one day!

[BLhaze]

@Mcgarret will do, if i can find it  im still figuring out how to move around on here... Cheers buddy

@MacGanja

Give him/her a bell on one of your phone's. Don't bother trying to text Couldn't resist.

 

Surprised you didn't have to keep lugging water up to your plots. Maybe there were breaks in the substrate. Pure sand drains too well
