You are going to get stuff growing from the manure unless you cover it for
awhile to keep it from getting sunlight..

I bet you have some super stuff there! I read that asparagus should be
bedded for winter with aged horse manure and try to remember to do that.
I'm hoping for good harvestable (more than a couple of spears) this next
spring. :-)

Dear Glenna and Henriette,
Thanks for your prompt and useful information. As my garden evolves, I'll
use the aged manure more and more. Wish I could send you some potatoes-
they're going to be impressive...

I wish you could also! Wouldn't it be great if we could all get together
one weekend and share our most favorite product of the year?!
