Fertiliser or manure must not usually be applied within two metres of the centre of a hedgerow or watercourse. This rule also applies to all land within one metre of the top of the bank of a watercourse.
If it stinks like bad eggs that will be the sulphur
The most commonly used fertiliser nutrients are nitrogen, phosphate, potash, sulphur and magnesium with lime also widely used to correct soil acidity. |
Used to make stink bombs when I was a kid, dolly blue & vinegar.
Makes a gas called Hydrogen Sulphide, smelt worse than rotten eggs.
