manuring the plot
« on: January 29, 2009, 16:33 »
Is it too late to spread a layer of well rotted horse manure over my new plot ?  :unsure:

Thanks Chappers

Hop[e not, did mine last weekend.

If it is well rotted and not contaminated then I reckon it'll be fine.

Definitely not too late. You need about a month between spreading and planting, so you're okay.

Just out of curiosity Chappers how much you paying?
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

20 quid a trailer here, but I guess its all relative to how big the trailer is!  A trailer load left a year and put out on my plt covers around 2/3 of it (15x50 foot of useable space right now), still got a load to get out if it ever stays dry long enough to stop squelshing underfoot!

I have a patch of land that has been used for nothing but weeds for the past 7 years. It is heavy clay soil and is in need of some organic material but I have discovered that it is highly acidic. I read that you should not add manure and lime at the same time so what should I do?

Compost and lime now and then fish blood and bone later when I plant out?

I'm told it £20-£25 a load here, they all get it from the same place and it looks good.
