I scored some "good shit" today! One thousand pounds of "good shit!"
Twenty 50# bags of "Black-Kow" composted manure for my garden.

Mrs D (from Chicago): "How much did you pay for that shit?"

DemoTex (in NC): "$2.50 a 50# bag."

Mrs D : "I hope it's some good shit!"

DemoTex: "It's good shit. The dealer told me so."

Actually my dad, a retired Entomology professor with a specialty in horticulture, recommended "Black-Kow." Dad, at near-84, still has one of the most beautiful, prolific vegetable gardens in central Georgia.

My mom likes 'good shit'. She just put the mulch down and planted a few new flowers in that shit.

4. Every time I pay good money at Home Depot for composted cow shit
I hear my grandfather turning over in his grave. But I don't have half a dozen close relatives with farms like he did.

8. Five pounds per square foot (at 1/2 depth) is recommended.
That is thick shit. I'll use about a pound per square foot because it is fairly rich, well-tested soil.

10. One of my favorite pithy sayings...
"10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag"

11. hey can you hook me up?
I am always looking for some good shit for my garden...

:-)

I have been using peat moss/sand/compost to break up the clay in my yard... egads...the clay is bad here in PA...naturally we grow shale, coal and other assorted rocks....it takes a lot of work to make a large garden grow in our area...

12. I remember when I was 9 and our neighbor gave us some good shit.
First yr I had ever been around a garden. I wouldn't eat the veggies that summer. :)
