Welcome to A4A.  Pass near you on my way to MK.  Sorry can't help but have you looked on members map to see if there is anyone near you?  Then you could perhaps send a PM.

Hope you enjoy your allotment.

Do remember to test your manure for contamination.  Just grow some beans in it.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

We get horse manure delivered free to our allotments.  I think most stables are happy to find somewhere to take it to.  We also have deliveries from a donkey sanctuary but give them a donation because they are a charity.

There might be something similar in your area.

Remember to do the "bean test" before spreading the manure, as there is a lot of manure around contaminated with aminopyralid.

Welcome to A4A, Flit.  Look for stables, riding schools etc.  Don't forget the bean test (search on this site - there are loads of links to contaminated manure  :) :) :)
