Love your garden, Razz!
Catherine, lots of stables will let you haul off horse manure for free from their pile. It smells better than cow manure and is easier to work with.
We use horse manure in our garden, and lots of straw.
We have so many monarchs this year compared to last year.
We have a professional beekeeper down the road and I swear we feed his seeds free all summer.
More weed seeds though, in my experience.It smells better than cow manure and is easier to work with.

Serious question. Is composted cow manure better than sheep manure. My favourite store has one discounted sheep manure to half of the discounted cattle manure. It is so tempting to get a bunch for next year.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
I'd read this and see what you think for your situation:

Thank you Tybee. I will take a look at the actual N/Ph/P ratio of each, both are composted and in bags.

today I am potting up herbs to put in the kitchen window this winter. I am cleaning old ceramic pots for this and am happy to see them and reuse them in a new way. Found an old blue green cracked mccoy pot and now it has a little lavender plant in it. Very satisfying.
Have lots of tarragon this summer so will find a pot for one of those.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
