Horse Manure uses
Hi, I have just been given a big bag of well composted (6 month old) horse manure.
I currently have the following growing in my garden:
Cucumbers, Squashes, aubergines, courgettes, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, chillies, cape gooseberries, peas and beans.
Can anyone advise me which of those plants might benefit from a top dressing of manure, or if there are any of those who wouldnt appreciate it at all?
Many Thanks!

Years ago I went on a gardening course at an agricultural college and we were told that manure had relatively little actual fertiliser value, but was useful mainly as a conditioner - it helped to break the soil down and make it workable. It might be worth using a proprietary fertiliser as well. Manure has to be disposed of somehow and spreading it on land is usually the most convenient way.
go to your local greengrocer ask him for a oinon sack put some of your manure in the sack and put it in a warter but then use the water as a liquid feed keep the manure in the bag for as long as you can,you can top up with kitchern waste in a year you will a very fine growing medium witch you can mix with your potting compost this will give your seeds a great start.
