Oct 08: We were very lucky to have the help of Jim Cronin and his two beautiful Percheron workhorses, Qualite and Quaroba in preparing the new outdoor area for the winter. Having ploughed the area, we sowed green manure and then the horses, with Jim harrowed the beds, ready for Winter. The green manure (rye grass and vetch) helps to improve the soil quality and will be dug back into the beds in Spring when we are ready to sow crops.
I came across your site while searching for vegetable box delivery service in the Killaloe area. This is a brilliant idea and I really hope it’s a success. Best of luck!
