Manure - Fay (5th Feb 2007 - 21:02:09) Does anyone know if anyone local is selling manure for garden use please.

Re: Manure - Freddie Dawkins (6th Feb 2007 - 09:31:35) Fay - There used to be a stable over at Whitehill that gives it away. You just need to take some bags and a garden fork, to bring it home. Can't remember name of road but if you take the Hollywater Road from Passfield to Whitehill, go across the roundabout and then I think it's the first left and you'll see the stables and a sign up. There's a newsagents/general store on the corner of the road. I'd avoid Saturday morning - it always used to be quite busy then. Good luck. Freddie

Re: Manure - Eneida Nelson (6th Feb 2007 - 12:08:15) I always buy mine at the garden centre in Rake....obviously not free but at least it's bagged up and not too pongy!! Eneida

Re: Manure - Freddie Dawkins (7th Feb 2007 - 09:29:36) Hi, Eneida - "Not too pongy"? That's half the fun of using manure!! I used it particularly in my vegetable beds and it worked a treat. Brilliant carrots, shallots and lettuces ;-)) Freddie

Re: Manure - Fay (7th Feb 2007 - 20:41:14) Thanks Freddie, I will pop over there and have a look but not on a Saturnday morning!

Re: Manure - Mike Grimes (8th Feb 2007 - 00:24:48) Only half the fun? What's the other half? By the way, you did not mention turnips - or was this a cunning plan?

Re: Manure - Freddie Dawkins (9th Feb 2007 - 10:00:47) Hi, Mike - Let's not even go there. We've buried Sven and it looks as if McClaren (is it only me, or does he look like a celeriac?) will have the same fate - only sooner. Bring back Terry V!

Re: Manure - Eneida (9th Feb 2007 - 10:41:36) Hi Freddie, I'm a bit confused by your last post.....are you talking about varieties of vegetables ??? ;) Eneida

Re: Manure - Freddie Dawkins (9th Feb 2007 - 18:43:46) Hi, Eneida - Well Graham Taylor was pictured as a turnip. One of the Sun's finest back pages ;-) Snow and frost have put paid to early-flowering camelias! Freddie

Re: Manure - Eneida (10th Feb 2007 - 17:41:56) Hi Freddie, Actually Graham Taylor is one of David's heroes (because he's a Watford man) so he probably didn't find that picture funny!!! :D :D Yes, poor old camelias....looking very soggy and sad now...but it's the birds I'm concerned about....there's definitely been some nest building going on and if there are eggs I supposed they will be killed by now?
