When I first started to learn about compost
Of course I got great advise here and then I spoke with my uncle in KS and He advised: Sheep manure for winter composting for help 'heat up'
I have since looked and looked for it thruout this metroplex none had it, noone carries it, and none was planning to order it! , just cow manure( well this IS Texas kissies
Well! Here's to Composting!! thumbup

OHHHH Yes It's in there!! clp It's really cold outside with strong winds But I wrapped up really well even put a mask on Cuz'I can't afford a setback of being sick again frown
DH emptied into the wheel-barrows and helped me incorporate into it cool He was against me going out to do it but say I was determined regardless (tee-hee) .: it took up about a 1/2 hr as we had stuff we hadn't mixed in yet. But He sure got after it with me BRRRR it was cold!

Yes my Uncle has been gardening for 40+ Years He has 2 acres behind his house and grows veggies all kinds he has one section just for vine veggies,, another for peach and apple and cherry trees the rest for in ground veggies,I tell you my Aunt(his wife) makes THE BEST salsa ever using everything from his garden,,some mild some HOT! she 'canns' everything and has an outdoor celler When ever I go home she gives me a large box and the key to the celler and I get what I want,(Under the condition next time I come home to bring back all the mason jars, ) you can believe I take them back as well as buy her a case of newjars w/ rings!! I have yet to get that salsa reciepe from her tho' I just can't get her to give it up,. SO I just take an extra jar or two(TEE-HEE HEE) should would like to see it continue in the family cool
I am going to call the company Monday that way I can get some direct answers about delivery and call the feed and grain store First to see if they agree to get it!
YEAH!! clp

I dug into my compost pile I started last year and found LOTS of good rich soil. I now have about 6 inches of the stuff piled in my garden. And I still have some left over.

Well I did break mine the fork falls off the handle.
I'll have to drill a hole in it and install a bolt.

It's only 2 years old and the paint is still good.
