Message: [QUOTE="headfullofbees, post: 58342, member: 408"] I've just put another large batch on my allotment, and I'm stunned again at its effects. In this part of the UK, we've had a late spring, and I am WEEKS ahead of everyone who hasn't started using our techniques. We had three really cold nights in a row, for the time of year, 8th, 9th, 10th June, where, according to Blightwatch, the minimum temps were 3.8C, 2.5C and 3.7C (approx. 36.5 - 39.5F), during which, many of my fellow allotmenteers unfortunately losy a number of their crops (notably beans and sweetcorn); the extra resilience given by compost tea means that my beans are about to come into flower, and my other plants just shrugged off the cold. Amazing! [/QUOTE]
