Well rotted farmyard manure

[Messi1986]

Hi. I'm just wondering if I dug the well rotted manure in to the soil now. Could I grow veg in it straight away as its rotted down? Thanks

What are you growing?

[Aberdeenplotter]

that will be absolutely fine but don't plant carrots/parsnips/beetroot where you have dug in manure as that will cause them to fork.

You don't need to dig it in.

Just move it aside for planting.

Thank you. I'm thinking of growing onions and sprouts in these two spots. Thanks again

Onions won't like the poop. I had the same thought today. But sprouts and their relatives will like it a lot.

Onions won't like the poop..

They most certainly will. !! Onions are gross feeders and in addition, the fym will hold moisture in the ground for them.

[horticultural_hobbit]

I stand corrected! Have been avoiding onions and poop for ages under that misapprehension.

Ooh..might interplant Onions amongst tatos then, uncle AP was wondering where they were gonna go.

Onions like lots of light and don't like competition for resources.

Funnily enough, I had a brilliant crop of onions one year, the year I was giving up one of my plots. I let it become overgrown with chickweed, and it smothered the onion bed.
It also acted as a living mulch, keeping moisture in the soil: the onions, when I retrieved them from under the chickweed, were brilliant

And they won't like the earthing up!
