North East Manure
« on: July 20, 2013, 21:17 »
Evening all.....
Does anyone know of anywhere that provides free/cheap manure in the north east? County Durham or Tyne and Wear would be awesome.

Look up horse stables in your yellow pages. All three of the stables within a mile of here give away manure...and very effective it is too, if my strawberries are anything to go by.

a) Has the field owner given specific permission for you to offer the manure publically, riggers24?

b) Do you know for certain that herbicides haven't been used on the field?

Both of these things are important to establish.
