Does anybody in Connecticut know any places that deliver manure or other nature fertilizers?

Buy a cow (or a horse). It will put it right where you want it.

My father in law if bringing a load with him for the Wilkes Barre area this weekend. My some imported dung is just what I need:) I wonder how many people have their manure delivered from 450miles away?

Blue Ribbon, I live in a small town and the local building supply sells composted manure so Im sure you can find it around somewhere.

Folks around here give me perserves, and stuff to clean out their barns, and stalls it's a great simbiotic relationship!
I get great amendment and they get a lot of free labor and seeds.

I don't know about manure, but I just got a e-mail from someone in Australia who is getting ready to put some of my seeds in the ground in November & he told me he buried a whole KANGAROO under the planting site. I don't know about you but if this works I'm going down to the zoo......LOL.......Paul

I won't mention any names, but someone in Ohio tried this several years ago with a whole pig. I don't think it produced a big pumpkin, but boy could it squeal!

Manure slinging, that's something I'm good at. You might try to find some horse farms or stables around your area. They might deliver to get rid of the stuff. It is okay, not as good as bovine, in my opinion, but our four horses generate a bountiful weekly supply. Be cautious, however, if they have been bedded on shavings, that can take a long time to break down and actually use up nutrients if you put it directly into the soil. If they have been fed a wormer as a daily suppliment or as a larvacide to keep the fly population down, that affects your worm population. I like to put a layer of horse manure, because I always have it, and cover it with leaves in the garden in the fall. Till it a couple of times during the winter. Come spring, it's all loamy. But then again we never get snow and our freezes are limited to the nighttime hours.
