manure loving plants?
« on: March 31, 2013, 17:42 »
Hello, I'm a relatively inexperienced allotment holder and have recently put a fair amount of well rotted horse manure into one of my beds. I'm now concerned that this will be too strong for any spring seedlings. Are there any veggies that can cope with a recent manure addition to the soil?
