Both the gardeners who I spoke to on Monday have gardens of more than 5
acres and one has a trailer load of muck every week, so he may well
store quite a sizeable amount.

Surely not more than 1250 tonnes! That's the equivalent of about 40
juggernauts full of the the stuff. Even a trailer every week and left
for 6 months would be hard pushed to reach 40 / 50 tonnes.

Quick question for any horsey types out there. How much manure does a
horse create? i.e. how many horses would you need to acquire a muck
heap weighing 1250 tonnes?
