I don't stop watering while the plants still need it. The company that services our irrigation system puts us last on the list for shut-offs and first to go on in spring. They should be here the very end of October.

I've purchased composted manure (deodorized) but never just compost. We have six compost bins and when I see what friends buy it just is not the same. How many bins do you have, Noreaster? It takes three for best results.
