After fruitlessly trawling the internet & asking our allotment secretary, I still can't find anywhere to supply manure in or around peterborough. Can anyone on here help? Need at least 1 ton delivered, as have no transport at the moment. Thanks.

found me local manure. Can you tweak it? Some resources say they only deliver, you cannot turn up and load your own sacks.
Supersprout might have the answer. Have you ever wondered why all the farmers around Peterborough all drive smart cars?
Hello again from Burton St to Dogsthorpe organicartist, how ya doin?
I get my pony poo from the side of the road from stable owners, go for a drive around Eye/Crowland and talk to the farmers who have farm shops, they might help? Not many farmers are keen to chat on the phone about it, much better to approach direct. Have you contacted riding stables? One of our plotholders used to get them to deliver regularly (sadly he's gone and we don't have a supply again yet).

Organicartist, do you have the email for Louise Wilcox at the Council? A lively lady, she's always responded promptly. She's arranged deliveries of free woodchips (for paths) and community compost - the latter was full of weeds but if left a few years in a pile will be OK. PM me if interested :)
Hi again OA, I enquired in another forum some time ago and was sent a telephone number for a stables who want to get rid of pony poo:

Their number is 07787 143110.
The stable is located on the A1073, on the left hand side, about 100yds after the Greyhound pub in Eye Green.
Hope this helps!
Hi we recently got some from our local freecycle site - it was the chelmsford one but someone is offering some on the Colchester site too. Worth a look as got it for nowt - and plenty more to go & get as and when. Need to take bags and a spade, and dig it yourself, but it was lovely stuff - dark & rotting and still steaming ::)
Will definitely be going back for more.

I think riding stables are your best bet they are more than willing for you to bag it up and take it away. ;D ;D ;D
