Default Water restrictions and gardens

yes tish,

ok sheep manure is probably going to be hard to source from a major
city region, i reckon up in rural it would have been difficult as we
didn't live in sheep country.

but you source what you can eg.,. find someone with their own pet
horses (preffered above racing stables - lots of chemicals there), and
get the stable sweepings but see if they will keep the sweeping when
they wrom the animals seperate as you initially don't want that just
the good celan stuff, also you may be able to get to a dairy farm, so
that fine manure from the yards is good stuff.

we use green mulches eg.,. hay and sugar cane mulches plus add all our
kitchen scraps along with grey water and night water to our gardens,
and they aren't needing us to put manures in, i would if i could
source some easily enough but that's the limiting factor hey, not
going outa me way for it. anyhow check our garden oics reckon the
plant couldn't be healthier.
