Im up in aberdeen and have just got my allotment. I know its a long shot but would anyone ken a placey i could get manure? Delivered to my allotment pref. :-\
You may need to translate terms like "ken" to "know" for some folks!!
I can't help you re delivery of manure however I asked my local farmer if he would sell any and he offered it for free. It was well rotted manure, a year or two old and my first earlies are currently absorbing it. You could also try local stables etc...
Tried one stable- seemed willing to get rid of it but was suspicious- the guy had no driving license but said i could drive his tractor there- im not old enough to drive, ken?
Some aberdonian phrases just for Quinny:
Fooze yer dooze- how are you
dinna fash yersel'- do not be come irate
;D ;D ;D
What could be suspicious about manure? If he lets you borrow his tractor even better. What are you waiting for? You want manure - he wants rid of it. What could be simpler ;D
Would you mind dropping some off in Yorkshire.
Then on your way back call at Lancashire ::)
Are you passing Cambridge?
Luton?
This place is mad....!!!!!!!!!! :P

It's what happens when you go muck spreading on a windy day......... ::)Â ::) ::)
I believe hayfield stables give it away for the taking. at garthdee field we get it from a farmer with the last name of mitchell he is in the phone book. it costs £30 or £40 for a 3 or 4 ton load which can last a couple of years. by the way where is your plot

Thank you very much plotter, as for the rest of you, get your own manure! ;D My allotment is on hilton drive (at the end). I have cycled past your site before and it looks very popular. Ive heard about an annual gathering for allotment people in aberdeen at foxlane garden centre, might see you there
