I don’t have a supply of manure yet, once this year’s crops have been harvested I will make some wood borders/vaguely raised beds (wood has been scrounged in advance). The plan then is to start with spent compost from my work that I can take for free. I tend to drive in once a week so will take a load of rubble sacks and fill then once a week then deposit them. I also make my own compost which is food waste/grass cuttings/chicken manure and bedding. So will add that but there’s not huge quantities of it. Occasionally can get access to FYM or anaerobic digestate off folks I know. Above all I don’t want to pay for anything, cos I’m tight and it just seems a bit unnecessary.

What's your plan with that? Do you have a ready supply of well-rotted manure or will you chuck down fresh and hope it rots enough by the spring?
After neglecting our plot completely for the second year running I'm hoping I'll have a bit more free time (now I've got wedding and child-birth out of the way) and am considering trying the latter. Haven't really got a decent composting set up yet as that's also on my to-do list.
