I used some of the dried manure (think you can get it quite easily) in the garden of the house I moved into 20 years ago. Not much had been done in the garden - it had just been maintained and was mainly grass. As I made borders I used that and when I was ready to plant them I just added some compost and grit every time I put a new plant in. Eventually the ground was really quite good. I'm doing the same here but I've also just made some raised timber beds which I'm putting all the plants in that I brought with me in pots. Removing the turf to make the beds is the tough bit! A little at a time and you get there though
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
