Where do you live wahaj (hope I got that right?) are you only paying for transportation and delivery?I was wondering as horsey poo is something that people give away in abundance for free, where I live.Could you find a free source in your area?Just seems alot of money for alot of waste material, but then again where you live you may not have the access to it so easily.from missy
sounds like you've done real well wahaj :Dfrom experience of similar:tarp the area where the manure will be tipped to protect the groundbarrow straight away to its final position - plan ahead and brief helpers! - saves barrowing twiceuse a good shovelit takes No.1 son 2 hours to shift 4 tons of woodchips on his own, so can you get hold of a couple of fit m8s with barrows for an hour or so - one shovelling when the barrows go back and forth, then take turns?your garden will love you for it ;)
I'm assuming manure tipped on the ground would be easy to dig into with a fork and lifted onto a wheel barrow?and also...once i add the manure....what else do i have to add in there? I mean as i said i've already built up about 6 inches of ok quality top soil on my raised beds...and i'm gonna add atleast a 3-4 inches of manure to them.
