An apparatus for spreading slurry comprising a slurry reservoir (tank) 2 mounted on a chassis 4 to be towed behind or mounted on a vehicle (e.g. via drawbar 6). A transversely extending boom is mounted to the chassis, and comprises at least one foldable boom section 12, 14 provided on each side of the reservoir 2, each foldable boom section being pivotable between a transversely oriented extended configuration (e.g. figures 1-5) and a folded configuration (e.g. figures 6-9). A plurality of slurry discharge nozzles, for example trailing shoes 22 and/or dribble hoses 22, are mounted on the boom for delivering slurry from the reservoir directly onto or into the ground. The boom is mounted at or adjacent the forward end of the tank. The trailing shoes 22 and dribble bar outlets 20 may be arranged in respective pairs and selectively coupled to the reservoir such that slurry can be discharged through either of the dribble bar outlet or trailing shoe in a given pair. The boom sections may be mounted at recessed sections 18 of the tank, and there may be an additional boom section 24 at the rear of the tank.
