We have just had a load of rotted horse manure dropped off. A ton? I don't
know. But it is about 6'* 6' *2' on the ground.

The last time I had this, last year, I chucked it all over and could not
see any significant areas of production.

My question is where to chuck it.

I have my own compost for tomatoes, and have always had a good lot apart
from this year.(neglected them too much) so it won't go there.

I grow mainly:
Carrots
Swede
Brassicas
Potatoes
Parsnips
Beans (broad, runner, french)
Peas

The thing is that it looks like a huge pile, but when it comes to it all on
the soil it hardly covers any of the plots from past experience. And of
course it is all down to money, can I afford to buy another load? In fact
it is free, but transport is expensive and the stable has done this first
load for free, I would be a git if I refused the second, payable load, so I
have paid for it, and when it comes I hope there is room on the drive. I
want to spread or chuck this first load before the second one appears.

Any suggestions will be welcome. and yes it is free from weedkiller.

Don't worry. Just dig it in as the ground is cleared of crops. It has
come at exactly the right time. By next year it will all have rotted
down, you won't see a thing left.
Improves the soil structure no end, you can't get enough of it, esp if
your soil is light.
I get all mine for free and free transport,a neighbour has a huge
trailer which we fill up.
