Brassica Problems

Question

I try and grow brassicas in my sandy soil and fail miserably every year despite liming and adding plenty of manure, etc. I also firm the soil well but they still grow really poorly and I don’t get anything decent. Should I just give up or do you have any tips that could help?

Answer 1

The trick with those is keeping their roots cool. Try mulching your brassica plants. This will help keep their roots cool, which helps to improve their performance.
