Yes we do have; there's little farming around here besides irrigated
alfalfa, but lots of houses with just enough acreage for a couple horses.
Through a friend I got free pickup loads of aged horse manure, not
medicated. I shoveled it thru a quarter inch screen of hardware cloth and
it breaks down fast in the beds, mixed with purchased alfalfa meal,
greensand and rock phosphate. Failure to amend this ground is not an
option.
