This latest trip yielded
almost 150 gallons of organic matter, which we traded a dozen eggs and
one of our valuable
butternut squashes for.

Sheila --- I was shocked that Mark suggested it.
Shannon --- That horse manure is twice as good as the chicken compost we get, in my opinion. So much good organic matter!
