A ratio of 22:1 is not bad especially in your dry climate. Rotted manure is
20:1 and humus is 10:1 so your almost half way there... Bob.
Since cotton burrs have a carbon to nitrogen ration of 22:1, will the
nitrogen in the soil be tied up if the burrs are just tilled into the soil
instead of composting first? It sure would be easier to spread some burrs
and till them in.  Here are my options as I seem them - spread 4" of burrs
on top and leave them as a mulch; spread 4" of burrs on top and till them
in; or compost first then spread and till the compost in? What do you all
think? Is there anything out there that discusses the carbon/nitrogen
ratio and tying up soil nitrogen? Thanks TxBeeFarmer (Mark)
