Manure

We decided yesterday while at the allotment that we need to get some manure,we have been talking about it for nearly a year now and have not got any.So we took a drive to some stables a few miles away to see if we could get some from them, we asked them and they just told us to get stuck in so we did. I had 5 bags on the van so we filled them up and went back to the allotment and emptied them out, we picked up 4 bigger bags and went back to get some more.

It was a big pile of horse manure which was at the back of the stables, it must of been about 6ft high and 30ft x 20ft wide. Quite a lot of it was straw but we managed to gather some of the rotted stuff and fresh bits together,It will take time for it to rot down but at least we have made a start. We are going back tomorrow afternoon to get some more before it disappears,well before the local farmer takes it all for his fields.
