manure

That is not really a subject most folks like to talk about but for gardens it is essential. Sorry to tell you city folks but it is where fertilizer comes from and part of God’s big plan in the eco-cycle of the grand ole food chain. To have good veggies you  have to have manure. Gross I know. But only manure from vegetarian animals. Cow manure is good, rabbit and chicken manure is good but too “hot” meaning high in nitrogen so it must be aged. Horse manure is probably the best there is. It all works well when composted together.
