It's been soooooo rainy for the past two years, the soil needs plenty of enrichment before this year's plants go into the borders. I've emptied my compost bins into any patches of bare soil and added bonemeal to planting holes for anything and everything, but now it's time for the serious stuff.
Living on the edge of a city, I am fortunate that we are in easy distance of the green fringes of ruraldom and that my contact in the office at school has horses. Productive ones it seems. So I'm off to line the back of my car with nuclear strength protection, to wind the windows down and to go get some poo. Oh, and I must remember my shovel.
