All i can say is give it a go,if you're worried mix in some other potting compost or similar.Maybe being so old it won't be quite as "strong" as it would've been.Be interested to know how they do!

Dunno, but you can do it with courgettes, so why not give it a go with just a few plants and see what happens?

If the horse manure is that well rotted, I see no reason not to grow anything in it, you may find that you don't have to fertikize your tomato's as much, and should get a bumper crop, Derek.
