Compost / Manure

[Stephen Chapman]

Hi, does anybody know of a good local source of (free!) compost / rotted manure (Lymington/New Milton/Brockenhurst areas)? I'm starting to think about mulching the veggie patch - this year I'm trying to be organised and do it in the Autumn and let the worms do the work rather than in Spring when its always a rush.

 

Thanks, Steve

Bryan - many thanks. I will contact you once I've sourced a trailer!

You are welcomed to come along and get some real manure (we ask just something to go into the charity box)

probally still have 20 tonne in our car park!

Just call into the shop to let them know that you are taking some or else we will think that you are fly tipping.

Good luck with your project Steve.

Thanks - I've used green manure before - again I think (?) it worked OK. Only problem with the green manure is digging in around soft fruit bushes and established perennials. But good point - worth a go for open patches.

I tried a green manure last year Steve - grow it in situ then fork it in - worked ok I think.......pretty cheap but not free!
