Good afternoon ,does anyone know of a dairy farm in the leeds area who
would let us collect some cow manure,i want to try a method of using i
heard about where you fill a hessian sack and dump it in a barrel for
a week and use the liquid as a tomato feed,dairy farms around leeds
seem to be fewer and fewer these days,tia


Animal manures can give your plants big problems if the animals have been
grazing where weedkiller has been applied.

You'd be better off growing your own comfrey, cutting the leaves and putting
them in a bucket of water. When the slurry gets really stinky it's ready to
dilute and use.
