Rosalia Essex, United Kingdom(Zone 9a) Jul 18, 2001

I am planting in a field that has been meadow since the Domesday Book ( at least 400 years) except for a few years when it was used for pig /sheep grazing. A local farmer (forced to farm on Essex clay! - yuk) was saying what wonderful soil I had???? He said we had vetch (I think) which means the soil is acid ( in Essex!!!). The problem I have is that despite digging in the ash from my woodburner & chucking around potassium sulphate - flower/fruit production is awful - if at all. Soooooo I have bought some more - any idea as to how much & when re my nitrogen rich soil.

You need to have a soil test done. That will tell you exactly what nutrients your soil is deficient in and exactly what needs to be added to amend the soil. It will save you time and money in the long run.
