Hello all, this is my first post and I would appreciate some advice
please. I plan to start a veg plot. The soil has been under turf for
years and I need to fertilise it but have read that one is not supposed
to use manure, why is this? What should I use instead? Thank you in
anticipation.........


There's nothing wrong with manure. Dump in right on. The issue
is if the manure is too fresh. Some folks like it if it has sat
around and mellowed for a few months or so.

It is basically about the nitrogen level (don't want too much at
once) and also letting any weed seeds die (apparently worse with
fresh horse manure.)

Personally, I use blood-and-bone meal, and pellitised sheep
manure, both from my local hardware store.
