A very kind farmer has just delivered me 2 tonnes or top soil but has
said he's also mixed in some 1/2 tonne of chicken sh*t.
I now know where the term "flies round sh*t" comes from :-(
Hawing returned home from work on a lovely bright and sunny afternoon
the pile was alive with millions (no exaggeration there) of big
horrible yellowy brown flies that seemed to go for me every time i
approached the pile with my wheel barrow (peg on nose cos of the
smell) ohh what a nightmare!!

The wife's fallen out with me, the kids wont go outside and the next
door neighbors are going mad.

Has anyone got any advice (I'm desperate now) on what I can do about
the horrible flies (I haven't seen flies like this before)?

And the smell, Is ther anything i can to tone it down a bit?

Thanks
