Don, that's a lot of pitchfork fulls!  I've stayed away from horse manure 
because I have heard of major weed introduction problems. You must'nt, or 
you would'nt use so much. I went and talked to a horse lover near here after 
reading this from you and low behold there was about 3 pickup loads of well 
roted just waiting. I can see weeds might not matter in a mowed orchard, but 
how about your garden?

Got your plastic bag sample, way different from ours, can't figure even how 
it works! but thanks so much for thinking about us. Del
