Market Farming

Maureen -

Sorry to write off list but I've been posting WAY 
TOO MUCH to Market Farming this year already! ;-)

I wanted to ask you if you are able to access 
suffecient nitrogen from a legume crop at the 3rd 
week after incorporation, or if you were 
incorporating at all. How many plantings of 
legumes do you achieve typically in a year in one 
'bed'?

This is good news ;-)

Thanks -Allan
