Let it age a a bit first though- don't use fresh pats (although I doubt you'd do any harm to established trees- could be messy when collecting fruit!)

Hi MaryT, here's some of my cow manure providers (not the wallaby:-)

Was at bunnings yesterday, and 'found' this (pic1) on their treated pine sleepers. I thought they were now using ACQ treated pine?

Hi MaryT, my trick is to mow the grass the other side of my fence, I call it a fire-break, but when it re-grows, the cattle just love it :-)

Yeah, I thought CCA sleepers were not being made anymore, maybe just down south? :-(

Brendan, you are clever. New grass must be irresistible to the cows not to mention the shade you're creating for them. I wonder how long it'll take for the owners to click. hahaha.
