Thank you very much Charles. I now have more queries.
1) I was going to spread the manure but one of the experienced allotmenteers told me if I spread the manure now, all the nutrients will be washed down due to the rain. Does that mean then that by the time spring comes I will not have much nutrients in the soil? Also I have been reading and watching youtube videos on vegetable growing and now a bit confused, some say that not all vegetables like manure. Does that mean when it is fully rotten down it is no longer classified as manure, ie it is soil then? More light shedding on this matter is greatly appreciated.
2) From your previous post, I understand that I should plant vegetables that tollerate the conditions of the soil as it is now (with leaf mulch and manure) until it becomes fine tilth for those vegetables that like fine tilth. Am I right in understanding it like that?
Thank you once again.
