The message
from "David Hill" contains these
words:

"........Or alternatively, just put a mushroom head on the spot and protect
it against the weather for a day or two. ..........."

And wont the slugs love it...........

I would put some of the horse manure into a box and put the mushrooms onto
that, at least that way the slugs wont have them.

Mix the horsh 50/50 with peat or compost.
