Composting news:
I talked with our extension horticulturist today.
He indicated that Byrons idea would work ok -- about a 3:1 ration of
sawdust to manure. You have to get the composting process to be past the
peak temperature and start cooling before you plant/transplant. You
still might need to add some fertility during the growing season as compost
is mostly organic matter after the heating/decomposition is done.
There are some pretty good web sites up -- Chiwon and I did a Google search
as we were visiting on the phone.
