A bit off topic, but I’d appreciate your thoughts...

Dixie butter peas and okra still in full production, but I’d like to get ready to recondition the soil for next year.

Would rotten horse manure or goat manure be preferred?

Those are my choices, unless I take a flat shovel to my neighbor’s cow pasture.

Thank you!

Fresh goat manure is higher in nitrogen than horse manure,
also it is drier and so would be be 'more urban friendly' (less fragerant).
It sounds to me like use horse manure and cow manure would best condition the soil,
and use the higher nitrogen goat as a controlled side dressing for growing plants.

I think I would compost the manure first.
