Cow manure, aged, is very good..
But do remember, it's pure nitrogen...
*Nitrogen = Green leaves/growth*
Having a compost pile, (set off to the side somewhere's) you can add your cow manure to, along with dried garden debris and clean up,
and kitchen scraps and or sawdust added...
*a ratio of 75% Brown and 25% Green*
and that stuff will be lovely...
Just layer the brown and green, let sit for a bit..
and then turn every so many days..
You can add grass clippings too...
But as for your veggies, and using the old manure..
Not a problem, just don't go over board..
*like the ole'sayin'.. twice as much isn't always better*
But it is good stuff..
For
plants like leaf lettuce, manure is good..
*promotes green growth*
and Corn and pumpkins' lovvvvvvvvvve it..
*they are heavy nitrogen feeders*
