Hi,

A local farmer has 40 tons of manure which has been rotting for three
years.
Is this stuff worth putting on the garden? I have a heavy clay soil, and
planned on mixing this with some sharp sand. he also said he could offer
me
fresh stuff, "as and when it comes in". Would I be better off waiting for
the fresh stuff?

Get as much as you can handle before somebody else beats you to it.
