Wood shavings

[Richard Webber]

Tess – I had delivery of some pony manure last Winter/Spring (the second batch was much delayed coming) – some of this was very wood shaving rich. I spread it all out over the veg patch nevertheless. It does seem to have taken time to “compost” but it’s on it’s way and doesn’t seem to have done the veg any harm at all! When I get some more pony manure this Autumn I will mix up the bags more than I did this time to spread any concentrations of shavings around. Some of the best soil in my garden is a mix of leaf mould and rotten wood so I guess shavings are fine – eventually. Richard
