My blackcurrant bush arrived (bare root) this morning, so I've had to hurriedly clear a patch of ground for it.
I didn't have any well-rotted manure, so I put a mix of not-very-well-rotted manure, garden centre compost and soil in.
I tried to keep the manure away from the roots, so by the time they grow into it, I'm hoping the manure will be more mellow.
Am I making a mistake? would it be better with no manure than fresh manure?
