i live on the n border of portugal in spain and this is going to be my first go at veges. i have a quarter of an acre!!! first the tractor then weeding and now the rotavator. i have planted some seeds in mini greenhouses in a mixture of household waste, good soil and a little sand. i have taken note that by putting basil near carrots keeps flies away. and on planting the seeds on a base of sand and newspaper encourages then to grow long and straight. also leeks should not be pressed in - just fill with water. would appreciate any advice
