October

Some useful advice if ever I saw any:

‘In October dung your field
And your land it’s wealth shall yield.’

From The country Diary of an Edwardian Lady

My late Mother had that book, i'm sure it's lurking around somewhere!

I think it means "dug", or more correctly "dig"!

See, I'm as 'daft as a brush'.

Keith, ya big townie, it's muck spreading time, hence dung your field.

John and Keith: No fighting in my comments box please!

I'm surprised an Edwardian Lady would use a word like 'dung'.

Great advice - if only I had dung or a field.
