That is good news Snadger, the soil on my allotment badly needs organic matter added to make it easier to work and to retain moisture. It is most likely to be a sandy soil and at times I cannot work on it because it dries out so much that you cannot dig or fork it over. I am going to plant a green manure crop in the area that the earlies were growing in. I am also putting everything compostable into the compost heap but I have not had the allotment for long enough to have made any quantity of useful compost. I'm even growing sunflowers do that I can compost the stems and leave the roots in the soil to build it up. Thanks.
