Manure too fresh?

They thrived. They didn't burn and they didn't wilt. Is this another "Old Gardening Chestnut" successfully debunked? I've never been convinced by any advice given by anyone about manure 'burning' plants. I think the reason for that is that I've used manure for decades and sometimes in very fresh condition but I've always thought about how and where I will use it and i have always ahd big garens. I wouldn't put hen manure from directly under the perchs straight on a bed of tiny seedlings, but I have dumped a lot of underperch poo under an Alister Clark climbing rose which like many of his roses had been bred with rosa gigantea in it's parentage. No ill effects and that manure was still soggy and very fresh. Just 2 days ago we had to hack that rose back because it was threatening to strangle anyone trying to use the gate to get into the orchard. |
