I find farm yard manure, particularly horse manure is a great way to get inundated with thistles. I’d suggest that green waste compost is better, and lighter to handle too. If you can get free horse manure though, I say put this over your soil or grass, then cover with 2″-4″ of green waste compost. This way you’ll get great growing soil and it much easier to weed and/or hoe.
