Compost ingredients?

wrote: Someone upstream in this thread mentioned leaving out manures of any kind, because of the danger. The agricultural extension of our local college composts the local leaves in fall, mixes them with pig manure from their farms, and then sells it to us locals. They've never had any problems. Went to the agro-farm the other day and asked if I could muck their stalls and throw the nastiness in my pickup bed. The guy looked at me like I was insane, laughed, and said "suit yourself." Andrew We're selling 30-50 year old composted cow manure. (Forgive me if I'm repeating myself. It's been a long month. We're haying.) Anyway, an organic gardener showed up with 2 dumptrucks to get the composted cow poop. She was ecstatic, because it's ready to till into her beds and she didn't have to shovel it out of barns herself -- we loaded her dumptrucks with our big farm tractor. (Her husband is a trucking contractor, so she got her kid & nephew to come out after work with the trucks.) I've been digging the compost into my garden beds. Everything looks like it's on steroids. You can imagine the logo I want to run with: "Get a load of our sh*t," but I don't think my SO will let me do it... *sigh* Jan |
