SNAP SHOT 194 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 If your only on a small holding or garden then poultry pellets are very good normally retail about £8 or €10 per 10kg bucket............ either that or farmyard manure forked through the soil..............

Guest jt750 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Rabbit droppings fine mate. I used to put it in a compost heap on allotment as the bedding and waste hay mixed in well with grass clippings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Live on the banks of the shannon estuary so plenty of seaweed about. do you just throw it on the surface of the ground or chop it up and mix it in to the soil? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netter 0 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 In the backend you can just spread it on the surface, it breaks down very quickly, but if your doing it now you would want to fork it in, you can also include it in your compost heap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blacktabs 3 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Seaweeds grand stuff We manure every five years with well rotted stable manure but every year give em a bit of fish blood and bone meal a fortnight after planting and one of the best tips ive been given is to put rhubarb and comfrey leaves in the water butt when they rot down they stink but it feeds the plants and most importantly it keeps the pests off especially cabbage white butterflys as there catterpillars are a pain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
