A farmer has offered to deliver ten tons of manure to my allotment for £30 is that a fair price?

Ask if he knows if aminopyralid had been used? If you put that ito the search at the top you will what trouble it can cause. It's been used in the last two years so if it's older that you should be OK. We managed to find some 4 year old manure.
