New Plot - Horse Manure

Just read your blog - best of luck. I remember my first plot (I have a really long memory) well and used horse manure from the local stables !!!!! DISASTER.

Make sure that the manure that you use is WELL ROTTED. Horse manure can take three years to deteriorate and still it will contain seeds. Horses do njot digest their food very well and leave a lot of seeds which when turned into the soil just grow. BEWARE
