  • 'Recently manured' - how do you define this term?

    Morning all,

    I remember reading about some vegetables that do not like soil that has been 'recently manured' and I was just wondering what this means.

    Is it:

    A) Soil that has had fresh stuff put on recently, then planted in or
    B) Soil that has had fresh stuff put on but left to brake down >6 months.

    I know that putting raw stuff then planting is bad, but what about leaving it for 6 months then planting - would this be considered recently manured?

    I guess it would depend on your interpretation of the term 'recently' To me, it means in the last few weeks. Others may differ.

      I have come to opinion that it means manured within the last year but not yet grown in.
      Growing suitable crops in manured soil will use up a good deal of it nutrients and then make it suitable for less hungry crops like carrots to follow.

        I'm with Redser on that interpretation.
