There always is. No plant can grow with 0 N (zero nitrogen). So inevitably, when we harvest, there is still N in mineral form, including nitrates ... It is a serious error to think that nitrates only come from ammo-nitrates! And so that it is enough to garden "organic", with compost, or organic matter with urine, etc ...
But there are more or less left.
I think we have to stop tying knots in the brain, if we want to be careful, we start from the assumption that there are some left and we set up a winter crop of vegetables or other, or even nice weeds to pump the maximum in the soil before winter and recover it either in the form of vegetables that we eat, or green manure for the beginning of the following season
we can dose everything, and it is currently the fashion, and therefore we will always find "THE" thing that is wrong
this year, I will have seeds of red onions those which went up to seeds that I had sown last year and transplanted, those that I transplanted in bulbils are also mounted in seeds, I will test 2 things: harvest the seeds and sowing in the wake to see if I can have bulbils before winter for a classic planting in bulbils, and spring sowing for transplanting
My trials of sown yellow onion bulbils is a mixed success, mixed is not really the word, because no significant rise in seeds, good emergence, harvest on the other hand very average in soil in the least fertile part of the vegetable garden , but that was to be expected, and therefore it works, and therefore there also a harvest of seeds to set up for these onions
otherwise, nice harvest of winter garlic planted in spring, 2 heads of garlic bought 2 years ago to try, I now have 32 heads of garlic of different sizes, I just finished today my production of last year, and so I did the welding, consuming little, there I will be able to be more greedy and plan something to replant and maybe buy a head or two, in any case, this year it will be half winter garlic planted in autumn and the other half planted in spring, because even if Didier tried, I have to try at home, because not the same climate and maybe a spring garlic planted in spring
I have some great leek plant that I have to transplant for at least a month, I need to find the strength, but also my attempt at transplanting endive which has also been waiting for the same period and all the seedlings for the winter who should have started
good if not at the moment i am making jams and zucchini sachets in the freezer for this winter's soups, and for this winter again pumpkins and pumpkins are growing, like sweet potatoes, foliage covers the ground, j 'may have tubers, in any case, on the sweet potato, I have progressed
I only have 2 steps left to go through harvesting what to eat and what to make cuttings for the following year
