Topic: Ahhhh finally

[wahaj]

Thank god for that. I've FINALLY managed to shift the 4 tonnes of manure that was on the drive. It's taken me about 1.5 weeks.....but it's all in the beds now.

For my tiny little garden....i've shifted about 7 tonnes of manure/topsoil. I'm so proud of myself. I'll never have to do it again  ;D

Never's a long time Wahaj, but well done. I got a load of muck at half trem and there is still some to shift... but the end is in sight!
 ;D

do you find you have big lumps in your manure? like really tough bits......do they break up themselves over winter....or do i need to do that?

I break them up a bit with a fork but basically just leave them to break down by them selves.

yea i'm planning to leave them there. i'm just a bit worried that i have loads of bulbs under there that might not be able to break through the lump.

i just wish there was some rain to help soften the soil a bit. we haven't had proper rain here since god knows when.
