SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Neale, Giant vegetable grower "You want plenty of space because this swede was grown three metres apart. Not six to eight inches as you do in the garden and the right fertiliser. You need your soil tested probably every other year to get the right fertiliser because there is different chemicals all needed." 12. Wide of nursery pan right to left to Ian gardening 13. Close of Ian spreading fertiliser 14. SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Neale, Giant vegetable grower "I need nitrogen, phosphate and pot-ash. Also, calcium and magnesium which is Epsom salts, to keep the foliage nice and green. The swede is growing so big it takes more out of the ground than you would grow for the table." 15.
