Black Gold

This pile is about half of what I received as a gift... 2 pick-up loads (nearly 4 cu. yds!) of composted manure! I am so excited... and I can already hear my garden saying, "Oh, Yes... Finally!"

what a lucky deal. I have to take my trailer, pitchfork and gas mask to get manure then compost it myself while holding the neighbors off with a loaded gun!

Wow, Darius! I'm jealous ;0) (You must admit it's kinda funny how gardeners and non-gardeners would view this gift!)

Thanks, gv.... I didn't think this photo would get much exposure, hidden here in the Soil forum. I haven't spread much of my "gold" but need to get it done before the ground freezes. It was still a tad "hot" when I got it.

When it's just still a tad hot, it sure makes it harder to move. I tried to move some hot stuff one cool blustery day. I started out bundled up, ended up almost in my shirts sleeves.... but oh my what great stuff it will be!

Great gift! Yep, gardeners are funny. Did you get it all spread? I remember a load of fresh chicken manure I got one fall and had to leave in my pickup for about 3 days before I had time to unload it. My downwind neighbor came over and asked what that smell was. He gardened with chemicals and didn't know the real thing when he smelled it. He was sure it would kill my garden. He had heard that manure would burn plants and didn't know it ever cooled off. He is one that would not have appreciated such a gift as yours Darius.

Mine isn't all spread even yet. Maybe when the days get warmer, LOL. At least it has no smell!

good to see you again darius
