Hello all
I have been lucky enough to get a ton(ish) of 3year old horse muck, and
much more if I want.
I live in North Lincolnshire and my soil is light
When should I dig it in? or should I?
Trying to grow veg. NOT flowers and shrubs.
There are differences of opinion on t'net, some say if I do it now all or
most of the "goodness" will be washed away during winter, others say do it
now.
It looks like soil and smells like it too btw, and it's a very dark brown
colour that I think "black gold" people liken it to is a good description.


Sounds like what you have got there is compost that used to be horse
manure. Get all you can and spread it out for the worms to dig in for you.
If the "goodness" hasn't washed out in 3 years, it isn't going to now
(though to be honest, there isn't a lot of goodness in there to start with,
but it is fantastic soil conditioner). Put as much as you can get on, your
soil, the worms and your veg will love you for it.
