Hello,
I am new to the site so appologies if this is in the wrong Forum etc.
This is my first year on my allotment and I am late adding manure to my soil beds so I had an idea to spread dried chicken manure pellets which would be a quicker and easire solution. As I already have veg growing in the plot I was advised by a friend to not spread the pellets directly next to the new growth as they would be too strong. His suggestion was to soak the pellets in water for a couple of weeks then water the soil with this mixture.
I did this yesterday which was a very smelly activity and now I am terrified that I have ruined the plot or have poisened the veg that is already growing there. I currently have potatoes, runner beans, lettuce, beetroot, pumpkins growing.
Can anyone advise if I have done the right thing or is the plot now unuseable for the rest of the year?
Thanks for any help.
