10 year old plus manure in tomato plant pots
« on: March 02, 2012, 18:46 »
Cant believe my luck lately, ive got manure coming out of my ears, but this lot is realy old, it looks just like soil, its a big pile and ive been told to fill my boots as she wants the space to make a parking area, is it ok to put straight into my tomato plant pots ready for later on?

Even well rotted, pure manure would be too rich.

I'd go with maybe a 50/50 mix with loam.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
