Can anyone help please, just started on an allotment and despite reading up
on it I'm still feeling a bit lost. I've planted some klevdon wonder peas
which are growing well and today I put well rotted down manure all round
them as a feed and a mulch. I'm now not sure if I should have done this and
don't want to undo the good results I've had so far. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert, and you'll probably get better advice, but my
understanding is that "well-rotted" manure has less of a tendency
to burn plants than the too-fresh kind. Would be interested in
others' input. Which critter, BTW? Manure varies from critter to
critter, with chicken, ISTR, being the "hottest".
