Re: Horse Manure
You can never have enough manure is my thinking. I pu 5 yards every fall on
a 35x35 plot, and have for quite awhile. What you need to do is watch PH
levels though. By adding large amounts organic materials, you'll lower PH
levelsd drastically if you don't watch out. I add 3-4 pounds barn lime each
fall also to combat this problem.Pumpkinpiper
