Q Should I be feeding my asparagus in March?
This is not a hungry vegetable, so all you will need to do is to put a thinnish layer of compost over your asparagus crowns each year before they start to shoot. This, combined with leaving their feathery fronds to photosynthesise from midsummer, will give them ample food for a good production of juicy spears.

The secrets behind maximising incubator hatch rates
Buying quality point of lay hens can be an expensive proposition these days (even if you can find a local source of the breed that you want). Incubating fertilised eggs can save a great deal of money and make many more breeds accessible. If you already keep poultry that includes a cockerel, an incubator means that you can hatch their eggs either to increase your flock or to sell. Hugh & Fiona Osborne have been using incubators for many years and have learned that getting a good hatch means attention to detail.
