Title: re manure
Post by: Jeannine on May 10, 2010, 08:20:08
on our lottie we have it available when ever we want it, and as much as we want,it is bought in and it is 1 year old stuff.

As john is buildingmraised beds I want as much manure mixed in as he can, however I don't want to put it on beds is it hurts plants so can anyone tell me which seeds or plants to avoid planting  to avoid,bearing in mind it is not fresh stuff, it has matured to a year old.

XX Thank you..we always put manure downin the autumn befor now.

Oh that sounds heaven..I wish if we could get it like that...well..it would not hurt your pumpkins,squashes, courgettes, beans, potatoes, sweetcorn, ...but I would be carefull with root and salad crops..it might be too rich for peas and you'll get too much foliage at the expence of flowers..Oh..you toms and cucumbers don't mind neither if  you provide planting pocket with soil or compost first and let them find they way thought to the good stuff themselves.. ;D..
