Apparently goat muck is not strong and can be used straight away unlike horse muck...I think I will have to just do it and see what happens...40 views and 1reply looks like a unknown subject..if it works..want to buy some goat muck lol

The muck might not be strong, but you're discounting the wee.

Anyway, it seems as though you made your mind up before asking anyway.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

You only gave it one hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a forum where people drop in and out over the course of a day or longer.

It's also not helpful to amend a post whilst someone could be replying to it. You did it to me, so what I posted is answer to your pre-edited post.

Why did you just not make another post?

The post I was replying to did not contain:

40 views and 1reply looks like a unknown subject..if it works..want to buy some goat muck lol

You added that whilst I was composing a reply. You can tell from the edited times.

I read your posts and thought you were probably impatient rather than rude.  It's a problem, not realising how posts sound to strangers. 

Maybe the use of un-composted goat compost is as a mulch, a bit away from the plants.  And DD seems to know what he's talking about.   But no harm in giving it a go. 

I hope one day to keep a goat, so let us know how you get on.

Do you mean the big blue barrels people use for water and if so would they be too big and would require holes in the bottom. If no holes seems a shame to do so. Alot of people use the flower containers from the supermarkets. you only need a spade and a helf depth to start with and then top up as you go to keep the sun on the plants.
