Have no idea if the manure heats up, but it keeps the soil from heaving, & fertilizes them with the spring rains.....I also have all except John Davis against the garage, so that helps keep them from the wind.....John Davis is super hardy, & needs no care, but it's very large.....Here is a shot of the side of the garage, the pink roses are spent, but more will come...will post a photo of JD later.... |
