We put out the word that we were purchasing manure and would pay a certain price per sack . . . and the response was overwhelming! We now have a lovely green yard around our buildings. The neighbors still think the gringos are a strange bunch, however. LOL<br /><br />The links below have photos of the manure arriving by the ox-cart load! I hope posting the links is okay. :)<br /><br />http://sowers4pastors.blogspot.com/2011/02/growing-lawn-and-cornering-manure.html<br /><br />http://sowers4pastors.blogspot.com/2011/02/traffic-jam-at-my-house-today.htmlTrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707876118083759696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-81602931837761835832015-04-22T05:30:17.598-07:002015-04-22T05:30:17.598-07:00Not if it's composted.

We don't do anything special to our compost pile, so it takes about three years from start to finish for materials to compost. Others use heat methods which work much faster.<br /><br />- PatricePatrice Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012022335047974670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-15159537148253206332015-04-22T00:57:16.395-07:002015-04-22T00:57:16.395-07:00Patrice: does using range manure cause weed proble...Patrice: does using range manure cause weed problems?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-17083162063376978962015-04-21T20:03:12.008-07:002015-04-21T20:03:12.008-07:00Patrice; does range fed manure cause a weed proble...Patrice; does range fed manure cause a weed problem?

With all the critters (horses, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and a rabbit!) we have on our farm we always have several piles of compost in various stages of cooking. And our gardens and flowers alike benefit from all the "black gold"! Each year we have several friends, who don't have critters, come out to our farm and get compost for their own gardens as well. So as I always tell my kids....farming, well... It's about that poop!
