Farmyard Manure - Vinny - 01-09-2025
OK gang, I need some advice or recommentdations?
I have 200 onion sets to plant imminently. I will fork over the beds I am planting them in but favour 'tickling' over the suface of the pepared beds and adding dried farmyard manure which is easy to handle, befoe planting sets.
I don't want chicken based manure but prefer cow poo based manure. I used to use 6X (which is still an option) but just wondered whether you lot had good results with any propriety brand? Either a 40 litre o 50 litre would do, prefeably with free postage. I have Amason Prime which can usually fullfill my request, but the choice is enormous!

Can't help, sorry. I've never bought it.

The areas I had added horse muck to poduced good sized onions, but no horse muck to be had this year. In the past I have had good results with 6X manure but think they have changed the fomulae now?

I've never considered buying manure other than chicken manure pellets. Are there no cow or horse owners near you that want rid of their manure? I had a few on hand around where I lived in the UK, and I'm making close friends with the farmers nearby here too
