Chicken manure if you can get it; but it is a bit fierce. Better to compost
it for six months before use.

Almost anything that comes out of an animal - assuming it has been
reared and fed organically!

Although, I seem to recall that recent EU legislation (agreed by the UK
goverment) means it is all now controlled, needs licences, etc ...

Perhaps Tone is concentrating it for his hair?

Stinging nettles. Very rich source of nitrogen.

As far as I know, plant foods of animal origin have been controlled
and licensed all my life. I certainly hope so. They've probably
sharpened up the regs since recent disease scares.

As far as I'm aware, it's always been possible to pop down to the local
stable for some of their waste, with no restrictions or controls on how
the stables store or dispose of the waste.

Recent legislation will require such waste heaps to be licensed - at a
significant cost.

Ah, yes, sorry: I wasn't thinking of compost and muck, but of
slaughterhouse by-products -- blood and bonemeal. I imagine the same
sort of regs cover waste from the leather trade etc, too. We had an
interesting, and generally reassuring discussion about the new
muck-heap rules a few months ago.
