Manure where from

Every gardening programme on TV always tells you to mix iun manure here, mulch with manure there etc etc.

I have used manure before by going down the local stables with a trailer and loading up for free but it would take me weeks to keep going down there to get enough loads for what i need.

Does anyone know where i can get bulk loads of the stuff delivered in southampton. Looked on the net and in the yellow pages but no one seems to sell the stuff. Is there are market there????

i have recently moved house and the soil is really tired with most of the garden having been veggie plot for years and years so it needs lots of poo to reawaken it.

 

Hi browfish and welcome. Can't help you with your manure hunt I'm afraid but good luck.

 

Ah how I miss my horse! keeping one is a great supply of the old sH1t and over the winter rots down with all the other compost that goes into my 7 heaps.

 

I know a couple of local stables where i do go down and get manure with the trailer for free. But i want so much that i wondered if anywhere sold it, by the 8 wheeler tipper truck!!!!

 

Check this link out (Southampton/Hampshire) hope there is one near you, you could ask for a bulk delivery.

The main link is to the Moon Gardening site which if you read through gives contacts for local free manure in lots of different area.

Happy gathering

 

You could try Labour Party HQ ?

 

Hi browfish, sorry I can't help you but welcome to GC from me too.

 

thanks people
Have found a stable off that site only a couple of minutes away that i didnt realise existed. Better than a 15 minute drive each way to where i used to go. THink i shall have to keep going down there with the trailor but might finish the house extension before i start on the garden.

 

Does anyone have a link for the Northamptonshire area as we could do with some for our lottie,but a lot of the time the farmers round us would rather set fire to it than let us Gardeners have it.We would even be willing to pay them for the pleasure of taking it away.In the village where our allotment is where we lived for 21 years the farmers will only deliver manure to people in their drinking group grrrr

 

There are a million studs and racing stables around here, but you would think I was asking for a hind fillet of horse from the reaction I get when asking for manure. I thought I was a snob, but lordy! these people believe that I'm not worthy of taking away their sH1T. Shocking attitude, if you ask me.

 

Do posh people still say yar,instead of yes?
Yar,yar,yar,yar...NO! :rolleyes: :D

 

Heck no, we have people to do that for us
