RE: Rutebagga
Russ, your location is definatly warmer than here in northern Mn, but you should still be able plant beggies. We fortunate here that most our soil is around 7.0 ph, so other than alittle granular fertilizer, we don' t do anything to our soil. Generally if your planting beggies as a crop or in a garden, you' d row plant them. In our woods patches, we' ve done both row and just throwing the seed, with row plantinf having better germination, but you will get germination by throwing the seeds out and making sure they get covered with some soil to germinate in. About 1/4-1/2" covering is all you need. If you do carrots, they only need about 1/8" covering. In our small plots, when we plant the seeds, I like to bring in a couple pickup loads of composted manure, just dump and drag around with the atv pulling a drag of some sort. This is " GREAT" way to add nutrients and works good to cover the seeds. Steve
