Thank you for responding Gwynleg. I agree – it is expensive but I didnt feel that I had much choice and I am only looking for a tonne to get me started.
In terms of manure: Wouldn’t I use it to help activate a compost heap of my own that would be ready in months to come?
I have got some seedlings that are ready to be planted so I was hoping to get started with a no-dig bed over the weekend.
Thanks again!
