    Adding organic matter
    Posted by Kimm from 4a/5b-MI on 2002-02-18 07:31:46

    What is the level of organic matter in the garden now?
    If your humus level is quite good you can spread the manure over the whole garden, but if your humus level is fairly normal according to the NRCS you will need to add more than just the manure and spot loading would be better.
