Cow or Horse the Sequel
If I go with horse, how long do I have to leave it to break down before
digging in? I intend to use it to rejuvenate a border from which we are removing Laucon firs. Probably replace firs with hedging - pyracantha, laurel, escallonia etc TIA Phil |

TheScullster asks:
"If I go with horse, how long do I have to leave it to break down before digging in? I intend to use it to rejuvenate a border from which we are removing Laucon firs. Probably replace firs with hedging - pyracantha, laurel, escallonia etc" My book says 2 months ... and 12 months for cow manure. |

Its never a good idea to use fresh manure on any bed except in the winter
Much better to use mature compost Since you have removed Lawsons Conifers you will find you will need tons of compost to restore the soil condition as all conifers double strip the soil of all nutrients and turn it acid "TheScullster" wrote in message ...
