Here in mid kent it has been raining on and off all day! Does kerb require a dry leaf? I thought it needed to be washed down to the roots of the weeds. I'm waiting for a dry leaf for phoma spray but forecast wet all week I believe, might be waiting a while now :(
We’ve had a little bit of light rain here. Not a problem for Kerb but the ‘astro’ part for blw might have been slightly compromised. Haven’t bothered with a fungicide this year as it’s pretty clean.

Started mine today. Still plenty mild enough but the poppies are getting pretty big!

Full rate Astrokerb + Proline for phoma/light leaf spot + 0.5 boron.

I was going to start mine last week but there was a fair bit of rain forecast so I decided to hold off . We have had 115 mm of rain since so am glad I held off .
