Well rotted manure?

Hi Jilly

I've moved your thread out of growing techniques.

Please can you have a read of this guidance.

Would you have time this year to grow a green manure on it and dig it in after a few months?

You should be able to get manure free from a local stables - you'll prob have to dig it and bag it yourself tho. If its not rotted enough, leave it in a pile to break down a little more... All depends how soon you want to use the ground i suppose...

B&Q do biggish bags of what they call 'Soil Improver', it is made from composted green waste rather than manure. It's a good option if you have no access to manure. Also, you could try ringing up your local council and ask them if they sell their own compost, it's often much cheaper than shop prices

thanks all,my local riding school has plenty free,but it looks as if its nearly all sawdust so will go down the local tip where they sell soil improver and try that
