Horse Manure and Seed Potatoes

[mpdjulie]

At the weekend I am getting a builder's bag full of horse manure.  Can anyone tell me how  - if I can -I use this with my seed potatoes which I was planning on planting either this weekend or next.
Thanks

I'd put a layer in the bottom of the trenches with a thin layer of soilon top to set the tubers in...
A lazy way is to put a layer over the spuds once buried to mark the row... afterall it ends up on the surface naturally...  ;D

Make sure its well rotted first, then lay it in the bottom of your trench and plant the spuds into it.     ;D ;D ;D

Since I worked on a farm 44 years ago and watched the farmer use horse manure only a few days old, I have followed suit with great success
