I broke down and bought the manure in bags from the garden store. Usually I like to get this kind of thing from the source with my handy little trailer.

However, Mother Nature could surprise. Until then, I am not ready to go out and clean or prepare my gardens.

I came out with a nice big pot to boil water on the woodstove for $1.00. There's so much space it was hard to find things. I got two of my float garden beds worked up with manure so they can rest until planting time. The other two I want to leave growing since there's nice kale, chard, carrots and beets to pick. I tried to find mushroom manure but had to settle for steer. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472066924589276730.post-84237412655811116202016-02-28T20:36:15.190-08:002016-02-28T20:36:15.190-08:00That table was a SCORE!
