Fertilizers...how do you do that then?!

My neighbours chocolate lab likes to come along an eat chicken manure pellets like crunchy snacks as soon as they go on the bulb pots! yuk!

I to bought some in a 15kg bag from homebase (with my nectar card points natch!) I think it was 5/6.99. much better value than their buckets which were around 12.

I do agree about horse manure especially with dock and dandelion seeds. but you cant beat it for doing the soil good.

I used chicken pellets/manure for several years until the price continued to escalate and the foxes moved in to help with the digging.  :( Apart from that I've added only 2 bag of well rotted stable manure in about seven years.

My soil appears healthy, has a brilliant texture and retains moisture pretty well - even the solid clay 1/2 plot is coming along nicely at last.

Every year I dig in barrow loads of compost as I have a compost heap 12' x 6' and often 5' deep. A friend adds all of his grass mowings from his round so there's always more where that came from. It seems to help.  ;)

Wow that's good!!

What a shame my nearest store is about 20 miles or more away.  :(


One hundred and seventy-two miles to the nearest JTF wholesalers  :o  Just a bit too far to cycle I think.  :D
