    :help:My previous thread entitled "Cow Dung" had a lot of info - for which I am most thankful- but I am now thinking/wondering whether my dung that was supplied this past November will still be too "fresh" this March/April ? Since I got this dung the weather here has been nearly always below zero C centigrade so everything including the dung has been frozen (the dung has been covered with corrugate iron sheeting)
    Has anybody had experience with such a situation ? :help:
    Cheers

    Hi Varallo as a general rule of thumb its best if left for approximately 6 months then spread over the ground at 3cm deep and then forked in.:)
