Just wondering as i may think about giving this a go again as it will be cheaper than buying manure in the quantities that i will be needing.

It's got to be better than nothing and if done every year it must make a difference!

I can't get hold of manure where i am now and the stuff i can get would cost me several hundred pounds to do the area that i need from MR M***s and that would be on an anual basis, on top of the sharp sand.

So i would just like to see how others do it, i did it before and it was patchy and i also had lots of the stuff comming up as weeds the next season and would like to avoid that if possible.
