Got a tip-off from another allotment holder (who had contaminated manure last year) about a source of good manure. Went along today to a local stables and got a car-load of the most wonderful stuff, about 5 years old, really dark and full of worms- and free! And they've got an enormous mountain of the stuff. Just kicking myself for not getting it before I put my spuds in, but everything else will get a treat this year! :)
:D
get it fast
earth your spuds with it, they'll love you for it ;D
some in the bean trench as well ;)
The tomatoes wouldn't say no either :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Keep going back until you need a stepladder to get onto your plot... :)
Will do.I wasgoing tosuggest to the stableowner that she put an ad on freecycle,but then I thought no, she might be inundated and she wouldn't be able to get on with her work. ;)
Put it on top and leave it to the worms to take it down.

That's my plan!
ive blagged a trailer for our allotment site and also several good horsey fields that ive found . im also planning on putting the nuts on a half plot to store and mature the stuff. 8)
