Manure - Any tips?
I used fresh horse manure once and every whole kernal of grain that had been
fed to the critter came up in my garden. I would get it, mix it with dirt and leave it set for a year or so to give the grain time to sprout in the pile rather than in your garden. The "Manure Tea" Sacha recommended might be your best bet if you want to use it this year as long as you filter out the kernals. Dwayne (from Kansas) "htmark98" wrote in message ups.com...

[...] OT, a small patch of cereals is worth growing just for an everlasting "flower" arrangement. Cut while the heads are still green. Of special interest to men living alone, as it proves you have taste and imagination, is impossible to arrange badly, and really does last for yonks. I recommend removal of any spider-webs every few years, but this refinement is, of course, optional. -- Mike. |

I wonder if it would work if I just sow some muesli? You'd have a more decorative selection of grasses if you sowed wild bird food instead. -- Kay |
