Farm Yard Manure
I buy a farm trailer of Farm Yard Manure ( FYM ) and store it in a compost bin for and year, before I dig it into my beds.
The way that I dig the FYM into my soil is to dig a trench and fill that up with the FYM and then cover it with the soil of the next trench.
This ensures that the FYM is where it is suppose to be, under the ground. If you just put the manure on the surface, in the summer it will dry out and in the winter, it will have all the goodness washed out of it.
Another tip: never put FYM where you are going to grow your next crop of cabbage. If you do this there is a danger of Club Root
