You know you live in a crunchy area when the free horse manure is fought over. I'm currently grabbing the precious organic matter when it's only a couple of weeks old and letting it mellow on our farm to make sure I'll have enough.

And, yes, I love my manure so much I even sweep out the truck once I'm done.

That last wheelbarrow goes a long way toward creating new garden beds! These will be planted in lettuce and kale next month.
