Title: growing in a pile of manure
Post by: Deano27 on January 28, 2009, 20:05

i've heard of people growing plants straight out of their compost heaps, but can you grow straight out of a pile of manure?  i've got a pile of rotted cow manure that isn't going to be shifted until next winter, can i plant a squash plant in it?
