Ideally I'd like to do both.
There are quite a few areas of my allotment that will be bare over the winter. I've got an inexhaustable supply of free manure, so I'm keen to get some of that on at somepoint. I'm also keen to get some green manure growing aswell to keep weeds down, stop minerals leaching away, add nitrogen and improve the soil structure.
Shall I put horse manure on now and green manure in the spring, or shall I get a load of green manure growing now, and turn it in with a load of horse poo in the spring - or shall I stick both sorts on now???
One area will be used for Brassicas next year, the other will be leeks, onions, beans.
Waddya think?
