All day today I have watched the chap from the farm at the top of our village go back and forwards with HUGE trailer loads of gorgeous, steaming muck that has come out of the cow sheds and is being spread on fields further up the valley.
Finally plucked up the courage to go to the bottom of the drive and wave at him to stop, and to cut a long conversation short, I can have as many TRAILER LOADS of the lovely smelly stuff dropped on my driveway as I like, no charge (think I'd better add a bottle of good Scotch to the shopping trolley at the weekend
).
From what I have seen it is a mixture of cow poo and straw. I've never had the opportunity of such bounty before and would appreciate advice on how to best utilise it. I'm thinking to incorporate some into the soil we dig over for the veg beds (which will also need freshly bought topsoil added to give us the volume) and mix the rest into the compost heap and leave it for . . . don't know how long.
Hope this is the right place to ask "what do I do with a massive pile of cow poo?"
. Thanks in advance
