I have been doing some tests the last years and found out that with ordinary horseshit you have a 20 to 30% extra growth and much better plants! The second year of use you can see a certain resistance against all kinds things, because of the better soil, humidity etc.

Gerard it's a pause while speaking when you think what you will say next. What do Dutch say/write?

Gerard - Are you top-dressing with horse manure or digging it in before planting?  I find if it is used as a top-dressing any weed seedlings are very easily pulled out and the worms do the rest.  I will have to start patrolling the Bengal Lancer stables down the street.  Thanks for the tip.

It's -2c here and milder temps are on the way until Sunday.  Already the greenhouse is heating up to 20c when it's sunny.

I am told that elephant manure brings the dead back to life.

[Gerard Oud]

eh!!

Its a pity there are not that many elephant stables around Steve.

John i use it a while before planting and work it through the soil with a small machine. The year after i use it as a top-dressing before winter(September/ October)

I remember a friend getting some lion dung from the nearby safari park. He used it on his runner beans. They died, but the willow poles he was using as support rooted and started to grow!

Yes, I may have spoken too soon. Bill Clark, Wandlebury Ring and Mr Blobby all scored Ebay prices yesterday that were markedly higher than last year. It may of course just be two collectors having a bunfight. Time will tell.
