  • When do I use this manure and when don't I?

    Just got some bags of Westland Gro-Sure Organic Farmyard Manure cheap.

    All of my veg growing is done in containers and pots.

    I have the following young plants ready to go into their final pots sometime soon.

    Which plants are best with manure added to their pots and which aren't? I have no clue which plants do well with manure and which don't.

    Cucumbers
    Courgettes
    Tomatoes
    Peppers
    Peas
    Beans

    Also, do I layer it with the compost or mix it through together? If it's layered, does it go top or bottom of the pot?

    Thank you.

    I'll be surprised if no-one here is able to advise me on this, so what's up? I got BO? I've overstayed my welcome? I've upset someone? You just can't be bothered replying? What?

      Gardening girl I didn't reply because I've never bought the product so instead I've found this google link :-

        I've never bought it either and it's not often I grow in pots. Potty's your man!
        Though I'd probably just use it to top dress the pots if it was me...

          Aw, thank you.

          I was really just after a general manure & plant & pot type advice rather than specifically about this product. I only listed it in case people asked me what type of manure I was using. I didn't realise it might read as if I was asking about that product in particular although now that I re-read, I do say the word 'this' in the title and it does read like that.

          Sorry. My brain must have been in a different gear from my fingers when I wrote that.

          Thanks for replying, I don't feel so lonely now.

            As far as I'm aware it's only carrots and parsnips that don't benefit from manure.
            I would mix it in rather than layers.
            Sent from my pc cos I don't have an i-phone.
