This is another patch that is resting for 2019. Here you can see quite a difference in the growth of the mustard. In the previous patch there had been no organic matter added since 2014. In 2016 we added some chicken, and leaf compost to this patch. This shows what we already know that compost is a slow release source of nutrients, estimated at releasing about 30% a year. Environmental conditions plus plant nutrient uptake will also factor in the NPK release from compost.
