| Latest Update 10th April 2020. Its my intention to abandon crop rotation in my 4 Ecobeds. I want to concentrate on refining the conditions in each bed to suit the crops I grow in them every year. |
 |
| Ecobed 2 has been selected to grow
climbing legumes with catch crops of Cabbage and Lettuce in between. The relocatable climbing frames shown in the top photo have been de-commissioned and replaced by permanent pest exclusion frames capable
of protecting tall crops from bird and insect pests and from extreme weather in summer (above). This new framing system provides support for
peas or beans climbing up to 1800mm tall. Ecobed 3 will be upgraded later in the year with a similar new exclusion frame capable of supporting 16 climbing tomato plants. Marigolds and Sweet Basil will be grown between the tomatoes during the summer months as companion plants. Both these beds will grow other vegetables as required when the main crops are finished. |
