How to apply. Manure is mixed into the soil, not placed against the roots. In a bed, spread 3–5 litres per square metre and work it into the top 10–15 cm. In a planting hole use 1–2 litres mixed with the excavated soil.

When. Spring before planting and autumn after harvest are best — over winter the compost merges with the soil. In summer use it as a top dressing: spread between plants and water in.

Who likes it most. Roses, fruit trees, berry bushes, squashes and brassicas. Not for rhododendrons, blueberries and other acid-lovers — they want peat and conifer bark.

What to avoid. Do not lay it thickly under seeds or against a young plant's root collar. And remember it works slowly: for a plant that is starving right now, use a mineral fertiliser instead.
