Not sure if this is the correct place to post, please direct if I am wrong.

We have well rotted horse manure (straw based not shavings), that anyone is welcome to help themselves to by the bag or trailer load. This would have to by appointment for the security of the yard. We are based in Bolton, Lancashire. It has been well maintained to maximise the rotting down process.

Or if anyone could advise me of the best place to offer this?

Please PM for details and contact number.

A gardening Newsgroup is the perfect place to advertise such wonderful
stuff, unfortunately I'm a little far away as are a lot of others here so
not so useful for you.
To reach a local audience try contacting your local allotment Rep through
your Council Leisure Services Dept who should be able to help put your offer
about to the right people. Even calling in at your local allotment site, or
putting a notice up there, should have plot holders rushing for the stuff.

When my daughter and son in law had their stables and were breeding Arabs,
they just used word of mouth amongst their many many friends and all their
neighbours.

No one ever want`s ours unless we bag it and take it to them, blow that, we
don't do that sort of thing any more, I keep a smallish heap near the
stables and the rest I dump in the corner of the paddock, it is surprising
how quickly it rots down

Stables near here keep it for min 12 months to rot down then deliver it in
tipper trailer loads at £12. per time to cover their costs.
I think the guys that deliver it do it for Beer money.

Here in my part of South Wales my neighbour has horses and he has a
waiting list for the manure, he beds the horses on wood shavings and
forks out the horse droppings, bags then into coal sacls The type they
sell at garages.
He charges 50p a bag.
I can't get my hands on any.

You are supposed to use a garden fork not your hands! ;-)

So has all this fuss about pesticide/herbicide contaminated horse manure
passed now then? I remember something in the news a year or two ago
about some pesticide/herbicide that was being passed down the food chain
via hay, through livestock and into the resulting manure; which when
used on allotments was causing malformed or sickly vegetables.

Advertise it near London, you'll be killed in the rush! Real manure is hard
to get hold of there.
