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
Julie ???
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
Have a look at my YouTube it shows you how to do it!

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
