I don't have a tractor or I'd also offer loading from the 3-4yo heaps up the paddock but the flooded ruts are a tad offputting for car drivers with the loan of a wheelbarrow ;D so most are just taking last winter's from the barn by the drive ::) Still need to get someone with a dung graip to clear it to a heap for me, nobody seems free and willing to do the job :(

Post by: Lesley Silvester on February 11, 2013, 10:27:07 pm: I offer mine on freecycle and get rid of a lot that way. Just had a request today from a Master Composter who seems to want tons, presumeably to share with people he is teaching.
