I have built a raised garden (gophers are evil here) with nothing planted yet, and I have 9 horses worth of poop, some poop still green, some old and dried. I was thinking of filling the bed with all that poop, but now I think I shouldn't. Does anyone have any real life info? This is my first real garden. Thanks!

I don't comment much, but I wanted to say that I just listened to the radio broadcast and it was done so well. It was really neat to hear your voice. All of that compost looks divine!

Then, when I read the comments later today, I saw where she gave you two! I think that was her way of welcoming you to the "holler" (as we say here in WV) She just may become a friend some day. And did you ever dream you'd see the day you'd be thrilled over two pigs and a truckload of compost? I choked up when I read about the “ornery angel” stopping you on the road and giving you a piglet.

We used to bring a couple to the house to play with them...when we could sneak them away from the mama pig...then you have to sneak them back to her...mama pigs are VERY protective of their babies! You wouldn't think they could chase you so fast. Few things cuter than a baby pig.

The warmer the ground the faster your seeds and plants will grow. If the ground is to cold they will go into shock. Sunshine is the answer. Don’t be in a rush to get your plants in the ground.

The animals can poop right where you want them and you can have the ground ready for the next year. It is almost like one stop shopping! You won't look like this at the end of the day either--covered in poop. :dancingmonster: Have you thought about rotating the garden with the pasture land?
