Strange how different people have different views on do's & don'ts I 'manure' everything every year!
I tend to ignore the 'fertiliser' content in manure as it can vary from load to load.
I use 'manure' for water retention on my fairly light soil.
Without it I would have to 'water' and thats a chore I try to avoid.
Most farmers don't do so why should I? ;)
But I never add lime within 4 months of manuring.
Usually muck in Autumn and lime (if needed) at planting out time.
Before anyone asks!!! with 'roots such as Carrots & Parsnips I sink my spade in the soil ease it back and forward to make a V shaped slot right along the row.
I fill the trench with recycled compost, water it in, sow seed,cover and thats it!
The manure either side of the trench transmits sufficient moisture by capillary attraction, this with what falls as rain I find is sufficient.
If growing in barrels/containers I still don't water I want those roots to 'search' for moisture.
see these that I grew in 45 gall drums; the box is my 24" x 18" 'garden news' tray
