Gday, we live right up the mountain end of the Ovens Valley,N.E. Vic and have just harvested our first galic crop, fully organic. Its a good one! We grew tommies, capcicums, eggplants and corn in that patch last summer and are thinking to do a green manue crop like clover instead of more vegies then letting it rest for the winter. Wondering if this is the best way to go. Our soil is some of the finest untouched flood plain soil you will ever see, is well drained, full of worms and grubs, well mulched and completly clean. What are the thoughts of our fellow organic growers? Have a great day and happy new year to you all. Ben and Katie.
