snottiegobble starts with ... I had a poor crop of tomatoes last season along a north facing wall ( No sun in the winter at ground level) I even lost a dwarf nectarine & peach that was for espalier training in the same bed so I have chosen 3 varieties of table grapes instead. I sowed biofumigant brassicas thickly early autumn & have just dug them in. I know it is advised to wait 2-3 weeks before sowing a crop, but will it still matter with grape seedlings that are dormant & in pots at this stage? | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 16th July 2011 3:07pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

Charles cant spell says... Well I am no expert but I would kinda think more important with dormant perenials than growing annuals, the composting action/bugs might not stop at the green weeds and might move onto your dormant roots as might fungus etc. But you can test the theory and let us know, nothing like first hand knowledge :) | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth Innaloo 16th July 2011 7:03pm #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |
snottiegobble says... Julie, thats just it I dont know. When you google biofumigants there is a lot about nematodes, fungus, & other bad guys but, it doesnt even say if you can cook & eat these brassicas.( I tasted them & theyre not bad at all)! Slight mustard taste but leaning towards Asian greens. | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 16th July 2011 10:01pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... Julie, I was given a packet of Diggers mustard bio fumigant ( 50 sqm ) Brassica juncea & Brassica napus. I notice now that it says "NOT for human consumption" & I wonder why? I can only guess that normal bowel flora would be affected if ingested! With my guts thats all I would need, ; antibiotics!! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 18th July 2011 8:21pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Nice n crunchy..aren't the seeds ground for mustard paste? ;-) talking of desperate - I finally found canned imported Tomatillos...I know they are heat treated but I am desperate enough to try growing the seeds!? :D I wish they were allowed here - they really do have that 'salsa' taste... | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

snottiegobble says... yes Amanda, tomatillos grew well for me in Vic.but apart from our own personal use for salsa nobody wanted them. They are like green sticky flattened tomatoes in protective jackets as with Cape gooseberries. Of course Diggers have "Not for WA/ Tas in their latest catalogue! Infuriating ridiculous quarantine laws! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 20th July 2011 8:16pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |
