Most of the AP manure has been now removed. Tunnels sweep clean and slowly getting through it outside. Its easier on dry days to see whats manure and whats soil. I have several experiments underway and will keep the findings undated here. I haven’t been able to find a source of organic manure or compost to cover the beds so im using fabric on some and old half bags of all different kinds of potting mixes on others. I hope to make 1m3 of compost (fresh size) per week from now till the end of the summer. So im using 1 square bail of organic hay pluss grass from the garden at the moment. I have 200m2 of Alfalfa sown so will use this as green material from July on wards. Im very worried about composting anything from my garden now. Like fruit trees in the lawn have been mulched with AP all winter so im leaving about 1-2m of grass around these trees as to not reintroduce the AP to my new composts. Its very had not to be paranoid about the whole thing im walking around looking at leaf damage to weeds around anywhere the AP manure was.
Peas grown in green waste in the same row as AP manure. I dont know why there was 2m of green waste there but it really helped id the problem.
