Otherwise, you'll be weeding 'til the cows come home! Horses consume weed seeds when they graze. The seeds in the manure are still viable, unless it is composted.<br /><br />Falls leaves are great for a garden, but don't till them in right before planting. The process of decomposition will starve the new plants of nitrogen (or something important.)Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704325586983583256.post-64055739248616516172010-03-12T12:08:06.749-08:002010-03-12T12:08:06.749-08:00Bish: I love that idea - an even more direct appro...Bish: I love that idea - an even more direct approach. <br /><br />I think I'll have to try it.

The most I've ever "uncovered" when planting was a stray egg shell or two.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.com
