This pile of well rotted horse manure is the fuel for the garden for the forthcoming year. It has come from Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre- http://www.whec.co.uk/static/HomePage.htm – where Careth, who used to be our receptionist at the Newby Bridge Hotel, is the Manager.
Careth lives an idyllic Slow Life looking after more than two dozen horses and a guest house in a lovely remote location in the Lake District National Park.
The horse manure is both a fertiliser and a mulch. We apply up to 50 tons a year, which means that neither the vegetables or the flowers need any artificial feeding.
