Went to a friend's garden yesterday with a group of keen gardeners and
several people were there who have regular supplies of manure delivered
(weekly by trailer!)

They were saying that after June it will be illegal to sell manure by
the load and not only that the poor riding school owners will not be
able to store it on soil, (must be on concrete) and mustn't be allowed
to drain into public water systems (though it doesn't anyway). EU
directive apparently.


What on earth will gardeners be able to do, to get trailer loads after
June and worse, what one earth will riding schools do with all that
dung!

Perhaps a Club could be formed which gives you free access to the
manure?

How will this affect other supplies of compost?

Does anyone know?
