I am in no hurry to get it down obviously but wonder if it will be better with a little more age, like a fine wine lol. The lady told me there is some old stuff, 2 years, and some new stuff. I am taking rubble bags and someone told me once not to leave the tops open on the bags when storing them as the rain washes all the goodness away. Thanks Simon A lot of people buy/sell manure that's been lying around in a heap open to all weathers. But I think you should check that the animals it comes from haven't been grazing on fields treated with the weed killer that wrecked so many garden and allotment crops last year. I can't remember its name but someone here will. It caused quite a lot of problems so I think you'd be wise to check on that. aminopyralid -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
