Susan....foot is really sore today. :o( Guess I won't be moving much manure today!

Oh yeah, to answer your question, Betty about the horse manure. Last year there was a guy who was selling his place and he had manure mountains that had been aging for YEARS. We (Bertie's DH) had access to a dump trailer and the horse guy used his front-end loader to load the trailer. So they just kept going back and back and back making our own mountains! Bertie probably got twice as much as I did. Don't know what we'll do when this runs out, as the dump trailer is not available any more and the horse mountain was depleted and the property sold. I did see a sign not too far away for free manure, but didn't check it out. Sure would hate to have to shovel it off a trailer though....bad enough to shovel it into the garden! We got some manure from a friend of Bertie's that looked just wonderful...she promised it was aged, and I believe it was...however...it was just FULL of weed seeds. That was a battle until we got all those killed.
