Hi, I'm fairly new to allotmenteering, but have been growing fruit and veg in my small garden for a few years.

Now that I have something a bit bigger I'm taking the condition of the soil a little more seriously. I have tested the soil on the plot and it appears to be sadly lacking in most nutients.

My questions are: what are the best ways for improving soil and if I want to add horse manure, how long should it rot down for. Most information I've found doesn't go any further than saying 'horse manure should be well rotted'. If I acquire 'raw' manure today, how quickly can it be used?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Andy
