Elmigo, just be careful if you're ever offered fresh poultry manure. I was given a quantity Once during a hot summer. I dumped it in w corner of the garden until it had matured but for ages it stunk the garden out and my neighbours, trying to enjoy their barbecues, were not amused! Even my washing no longer had that nice "fresh air" smell!

A question I have been thinking about for a while now but, I haven't really come up with an answer to is, if you practice a Vegan diet, is it acceptable to eat vegtables, or plants that have been grown using animal manure?
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Possibly not OH as I believe vegans don't even wear leather shoes because of their animal content. I wonder if they''re refusing to use the new currency notes because they have a tallow content ?
Not sure i could easily cope with the culinary complications of having a full time vegan living in the house to be honest unless they took 100% responsibility for their own shopping and cooking arrangements. It's all the small details of things like "Does the gravy have any beef extract granules in it? or "Was the home made vegetable soup based on using chicken stock?
Afraid i,m a bit pragmatic on this stuff in that what you don,t know you can't grieve over !!

What I understood about this is vegans eat nothing that involves animals, no insects used for food coloring, no cow milk, nothing. Vegetarians only eat no meat.
Interesting question!
Would love to hear an answer from a real vegan (I am not).

So I suppose the next question is then, is there anything in place that governs the production of Vegan food...a bit like Organic food production, for people that don't want man made fertilisers used. Maybe a bigger subject than I first thought then, as this might mean that Vegans shouldn't really be eating Organic Veg, as this is often fed with farm yard manures, or animal related products.

Well, it looks as if it is down to the individual Vegan, unless there is a more up-to-date guide line now.
Thanks for the link Snooky, really appreciated.

Not as good as Shallot Mans, as no Caterpillars...
Cook must be pleased.

Morning OH,
It was a question which intrigued me so I called up Mr Google and that link was on the page.Seems they are confused,and have no real answer-bit like us Gardeners when we debate the likes of whether or not raised beds are necessary.So many variables.
Fed up with the rain and not being able to get on so off to Portugal for a week from Sunday.Hoping for better weatheron my return.

Thanks again, Snooky and you are certainly correct about the variables...
Hope you have a good week in Portugal and please bring some good weather back with you...
Just looked at the 5 half cwt sacks of poatoes I have left, (Kestrel and Charlotte) and annoyingly, they are all shooting like mad...there will be a huge amount of seed potatoes about this year that have long shoots and these will be a real pain if they are in those netted bags, as the shoots will have grown through and will be really troublesome to get out without breaking the shoots off!
I suppose it is down to the mild weather....
