have been looking for some cheap compost or composted manure for garden and
have found a source of some clean manure & sawdust mix.........this person
will give me this stuff for free, and will load it for me as well........he
will give me the oldest he has .......he has a large pile that he has made
into a ramp of sorts, he dumps the fresh at far end driving over oldest
stuff with loader.....So the material he will give me is quite compacted,
heavy and wet........will this work for my garden? I am concerned how to
break apart and work into soil......and since I will be planting some things
soon - beets, broccoli, carrots, onions, kale, cabbage..........is this a
good way to go, or should I look for some better option? Oh and one more
thing.....I have picked up 1 load of compost from the city....I went to city
compost yard and found I can get all that I want for free......compost is
clean and looks good.....I used on flower beds, but not sure I trust for
vegetable garden....They said compost it is 99 percent leaves and grass.
