Stables near here keep it for min 12 months to rot down then deliver it in
tipper trailer loads at £12. per time to cover their costs.
I think the guys that deliver it do it for Beer money.

Here in my part of South Wales my neighbour has horses and he has a
waiting list for the manure, he beds the horses on wood shavings and
forks out the horse droppings, bags then into coal sacls The type they
sell at garages.
He charges 50p a bag.
I can't get my hands on any.

You are supposed to use a garden fork not your hands! ;-)
So has all this fuss about pesticide/herbicide contaminated horse manure
passed now then? I remember something in the news a year or two ago
about some pesticide/herbicide that was being passed down the food chain
via hay, through livestock and into the resulting manure; which when
used on allotments was causing malformed or sickly vegetables.

Advertise it near London, you'll be killed in the rush! Real manure is hard
to get hold of there.
