Black gold: Feed the soil feed the plants!

Had an excellent day bagging and moving well rotted horse manure (26 bags). Am lucky to have some good family friends with a horse, so they have a very large pile of well rotted manure mixed with leaf litter. This as you can imagine is like black gold, so digging this into the plot is going to give my veggies a real boost.

Was a very cold night with temps well below zero, so am a bit concern about the fruit trees starting to bud. With this in mind have fleeced them for some protection as the next few days it will be very cold.
