I got a delivery of fresh horse manure two weeks ago I have it covered and was told that it will be ready to use between 3-6 weeks. Can I believe that? I saw very fresh manure covering rose bushes in Phoenix Park yesterday so maybe its ok to do it.

I had a cherry tree cut down some years ago but the base and roots were left in ground. I now discover that there is honey fungus creeping around the base. It is beside both my compost heap and some evergreen shrubs. Should I be worried? What is the best solution.

Two years ago I transplanted a Coronet apple tree from a pot directly into the garden. While it has flowered successfully since no apples appeared last year and I have discovered that the flowered buds are falling off now. Before it was transplanted I had successive harvests of apples. What do you think might be the problem? Would root rock cause this to happen as try as I might it doesn't want to stay still!!
