Hi Folks
Have planted my first earlies this week, and have filled the trench with horse manure, which has been in bags for a couple of months, is it too fresh? I could get the spuds out and dig the manure in with some more soil, it was beginning to rot but not quite there yet, any ideas?

MANURE

Compo don't worry I've planted Tatties in fresh cow manure for years and it does just fine. I just dig a trench put a layer of dung in, sprinkle a bit of soil back in, then push the tatties into the soil and dung, always get good results, then again I live in tattie country.
Hi Compo
I'm a geordie but I have lived here in the north east of Scotland near Peterhead for 30 years after leaving the RAF in 83 after 22 years. Johnboy if youre watching, I worked on Beverlies in Kenya and Aden in 64 is that about the time you were on them.
