Week 38 - Bed PC8

We finally got around to clearing this bed of vegetation, but there are still a some potatoes to be dug out. The ones that we dug today were still in good condition.
One thing that we noticed is that there were not any nitrogen fixing nodules on the roots of the beans and peas that we pulled up. This was the same in the other beds. This lack of extra nitrogen might explain why these crops did so poorly in this bed where they had to compete with the hungry potatoes.
