>>>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. >>>
Mark, We used birrs for years and always tilled them in without
composting. The results were amazing the first season with tremendous
increase in yeild. However, there is a drawback. The burrs harbored
several types of weeds that were a pain in the rear to get rid of in a vegetable
garden short of pulling by hand. But the increase in productivity was
worth it.Pat
