I find having a word with your milk man often works!

Best of luck...just had my load delivered a couple of days ago.

Before you ask.....£20 for a 3-4 ton trailer load............and lovely stuff it was too!

You should not have a problem getting hold of some muck in your part of the world, we have had nine loads of manure delivered this weekend to our allotments at £75 a time, mind you we get about eight ton of lubberly muck in each load, :)

Hi,
And welcome rugbypost.

I would look to the local council for green compost or contacts they may have for manure suppliers. They do have many contacts for local farmers and the like. I have used them before and found them to be of great assistance getting hold of the right people.

Got them back now to put some tread on them

Also real beer is still cheap in the N/West along with manure, my brother still pays only a £1.00 a pint in Blackburn, :)

Funny! I thought I did the joke about Tee Gees Milkman's horse last year?
