Cover veg plots with plastic

Cover veg plots with plastic

To get your soil ready for sowing, it is fascinating the difference that something as simple as covering the ground with black plastic can make.  Cloches will do the same of course.  Both help to warm and dry the soil.

Purchase a soil thermometer and note the difference between the covered soil and the uncovered soil.  Once the soil is consistently above 7ÂșC you can start sowing early crops such as broad beans and lettuce.
