consider buying their seeds
and garden supplies now to
avoid the last minute rush
and the possibility of being
disappointed as seed sup
plies run out.
Another consideration that
many gardners should be
thinking about is the use of
manure on their gardens.
Manure serves two purposes
when placed on a garden or
on any ground. The one that
most people are aware of is
that manure adds valuable
soil nutrients. Cattle manure

One word of caution about
using manure in gardens.
Manure is a lot like medicine
for the soil. Just because the
proper dosage improves the
soils health doesn’t mean
that a lot more will improve
it even more. It is possible to
give you garden an overdose
of manure, especially
poultry manure which is
very high in nitrogen and
will bum your plants.
