I have glanced at this thread off and on and am considering a garden in the backyard next spring. My main question is using manure as fertilizer. It sounds like letting it compost for 120 days will cook off all of the bad bugs - any other thoughts on fertilizing and amending clayey soil?

I went to the Ed Hume seed company website as they specialize in seeds for NW America climate. They have mostly heirloom seeds but many hybrids as well.

I AM NOT a plant person - but figured I can learn.

I’m pretty sure my yard will not be the greatest for vegetables but it is worth a try I think. It would still get probably 7 hours of sun a day in the summer (fairly shady).
