Pre Rooted Onion 'Radar' Sets & Garlic 'Rhapsody Wight' Cloves Planted

Pre Rooted Onion 'Radar' Sets & Garlic 'Rhapsody Wight' Cloves from Marshalls planted into Square Foot Gardening Bed 2 this morning and the woodchip path extended to my allotment entrance. #marshallsgarden

No slugs found in the beer trap on the raised bed or around it. I was hoping to find lots of slugs had bit the dust.  


Marshalls Onion Garlic & Shallot Feed concentrated and specially formulated for garlic and other alliums, slow release fertiliser which is high in trace elements. This should ensures strong bulb development and growth, early ripening and maturity, good skin and bulb firmness sprinkled over the bed. NPK:12:11:18, with trace elements (nitrogen, nitrate, phosphorous, sulphur, copper and calcium).

Ryobi drill and power planter mixed in the Marshalls, Richmoor Compost, Marshalls Onion Garlic & Shallot Feed and original Mel's Mix.

I marked the timber at 200mm either side to give me lines to work off. No hole large enough to push the onions out of the module so I used my little extraction tool and mini trowel

Next I installed the watering irrigation pipe.


Then I transplanted the second row of onions.

Next it was the turn of the Garlic to be potted into place either side of the watering pipe.

Garlic and Onions Sets transplanted into SFG Bed 2 


Watered in and covered with debris netting to stop the birds or squirrels pulling them out.

Woodchip path extended over the dumper ruts in the main path in an attempt to stop mud building up on my surgical shoe.
