Thanks Charles,
Just pointing out that often free or cheap horse manure is just stacked on or next to pasture. Therefore weed seeds go blow into it. A few years back I spread about 1/2 acre in horse manure to make a garden. Grew a lot of potatoes for first year. Lots of thistles came up between the potatos and was hard to weed them. Did get a good yield but the thistles were a problem for a couple of years as they seems ed seed everywhere. My land was next to pasture and weed seed always blow in regardless of how clean my land was.
I find the green waste compost is much easier, as plants can’t self seed as easily into it and its easier to hoe or hand pull what weeds do seed in.
Plus is cheap and a recycled material, personally I think its great and will use it all the time.
This is just my personal experience and other peoples will vary.
