        Where about's in Sheffield? There's a riding stables in Dronfield that give muck away free I'm so I'm told, if I was you I'd fire a message over to arpoet (Roger) http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...rs/arpoet.html he's the one that told me about it, I got mine for a closer source in the end, Yell.com Stables near*Sheffield *» Yell.com

        Hope this helped a little

          Yes... if you collect and bag it yourself you have have as much as you want from them, BUT...... Its not rotted down so wants keeping a year or so.
          If you only want a small amount i will let you have bit of my pile, as long as you come and get it.
          We also buy Spent (used) mushroom compost and last spring i collected about 6 lbs that was still growing in the bags. We buy in bulk from our lottie society. What part of sunny Sheffield are you?

            Im in north sheffield (Oughtibridge). I only need enough to line up 2 small washing up bowls. Its my first time growing mushrooms so I thought Id just try 2 small tubs first. Whereabouts are you?

              Im as far away as you can get, Sharon, in greenhill, on the chesterfield end of of the city.
              Most garden centers sell bags of sterilezed manure.

              Try asking on freecycle for a friendly local stable or horse owner.. most are happy to get rid of the stuff
