Ok so my 3-4 tonnes of manure arrived....it was supposed to be 2-3 tonnes....but he sid he loaded on everything he could. i'm not complaining....but it's just so much "nuts" to shift.
here's what it looks like so far...i've probably shifted about 10-12 wheelbarrow fulls so far so the garden...and there's still sooooo much left.
he's it filled into the raised beds
and another picture of that section filled in. it's about 4 inches worth all over....if there's any left obviously i'll pile some more on allover.
i went to car boot sale today...and for £10 i bought all these pits and seed trays...a fan greenhouse heater/cooler....a huge role of weed supressing membrane and a bottle of greenhouse cleaner/disinfectant.
and! omg.....lidls are doign incredible cheap bare root plants. you should all go there and spend spend spend! i bought these 5 bare root shrubs for 99p each. they were also doing trees for £3.99! about 6 feet tall with loads of buds on....or apples, pears....cherries. they also had small 99p plants of black/red currents....hibiscus....loads of different types or roses all 99p each.
and so i'll now be going back to shift some more manure into my garden. i don't need to dig it in right? i mean i've already placed a good 6 inches of topsoil on the beds before the manure.....i'm assuming the frost and worms will break it all down for me over winter right?
