hiya, speedgardener, welcome to the site, I'd be dead chuffed as well, if we could get the stuff that easily  ;D

ours is a tenner for a flat bed trucks worth delivered right to the plot, as long as the paths are dry enough, again mainly cattle manure but steaming fresh  ;D makes the wellies warm on a cold day

I think ours appears by magic.

There's a pile at the top of the site that seems to grow faster than it gets used, never seen it being topped up so I'm guessing its the manure fairies.... ;)

I have gotten some from the local pony club, they have tons of the stuff piling up. I can get 6 huge bag fulls in the boot  ;D
BUT our site has just bought a trailer with some leftover cash!! trouble is i don't have a towbar on my car so I need to find a helpful soul that will help me out with a free ride. I would like to have a lot more manure than I currently use...
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
