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

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

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

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

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

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