Green verses Cow Manure
« on: February 18, 2009, 20:15 »
From my blog -

I did 3 beds in the end and it just happened to work out that it was a half and half split between Green and Animal Manure that I was turning. I have to say, so far I much prefer the cow poo (never thought I'd write that sentence!), the ground just under it was more friable and full of worms - in the Green Manure beds, it was compacted, very compacted and a pain to work with. I still have an open mind about the whole sowing a living covering for over winter but I am still to be impressed with the results. We'll see...

Why don't you put the option of both up here? It's what i did this year and it worked out quite well. Granted i used chicken manure and not cow but it still worked.
