Title: Manure
Post by: Maidenheadtaff on July 29, 2008, 17:15:04
Can i spread manure, the good stuff that comes from a local farm over my plot when there are plants already there. ?

It sounds a strange question but i was told that you should only put down manure on a clear plot.

I have brocolli,pumpkin,marrow and alike spread out over part of my plot and wonder whether i can put the manure round about between the plants

Only use manure that is minimum of 6 months old.   Anything newer will burn your crops.

please also make sure that your manure is safe, ask about the weed killer
