Default [IBC] Carving slate (muck)

I made a batch of muck last week, by mixing some clay I picked up from the
building site next door. I added water until it was a slurry and then added
well rotted duck manure that has a bit of straw in it to about a 50/50 mix.
It has held up over two heavy rain storms without any damage. So I thing it
will hold until the roots of the shorty figs, grow enough to hold the soil
together.

----- Orig likely some who advertise on the IBC site. Mix with peat and
water and
...voila.


With a little bit of snipping.

I have used the type of clay that is used for water lillys. Just let it
soak in water to become soft and mix with eg peat moss.
