 Does anyone have any good insight on using poultry manure verses  cow
manure.
      I have had great trouble in finding aged, and none aged cow manure
were I live.
      Which by the way is in Indiana. I know that poultry manure is very
high in nitrogen, and phosphorous this is what troubles me. will good root
growth, and flower growth be at the cost of not producing any pumpkins? If
i
can use at what rate would be suggested for a hill 6x6. rooting depth of
3ft.
                                                                    thank
you all in advance

I would use it sparingly as you would urea.  Till it in this Spring or
compost it.
I also use it as a side dressing for corn.
