>>3)  When manure is used, you normally hear things like horse or cow,
perhaps even rabbit.  We have access to rabbit pooplets, so that's not a
problem.  However, I have two dogs who have the ability to produce a
prodigious quantity of, well, dog poop.  Is this okay to use on a garden?

>For your first year, you might want to get some
prepackaged, ready to use manures to help build the soil up a little.
-----------------------------

I also have nop Aggy ofice in CA.  Ag is a business here that is bigger than
Govt.  I use a $15 test kit.  I am very tedious in how I test tho, and altho
thewse kits are nor great, they keep me in the ball park.  N,P,K,ph for 10
tests of each.  This lasts me a couple years easily.

Rabbit I am made to understand, can be used w/o normal month MINIMUM
composting.  But I wouild add 5-10% precomposted manure/compost to good soil,
and 25-33-50% to other types.  I have read this and find it to be true.  And
that is w/o being intensive.  They invariably say ~ "a little is of almost no
value, in amending soil quality/texture.  Add copius amounts..."

The soil UNDER these beds will be better later.  Now, or then raised beds or
not, dig 12" or better, "french 'double dig'."
