This’ll be spread on a vegetable garden that’s not been used for some years. And ideally by the summer we’ll have 🍅 and 🥔 growing

@jon
As an inexperienced gardener many years ago while living in Paris went to the bois de Vincennes with a carrier bag to collect crottes de chevaux to feed my tomato plants. When I told my dad he laughed and said they'd be inedible as the horse manure would alter their taste. He wasn't wrong.
