We have a stable close to us and get a pickup load of composted horse manure with about 40% hay or hardwood chips for $10.00. They load as much into your pickup as you want to haul. I filled up my furrows with that, so should use a lot less water this year.

Thanks for the ping! I started a “layer garden” after reading about it on the survival thread. I laid down newpapers (wet)and straw, and today I went to the recycling center to their compost pile and loaded up a bunch of garbage bags. I hope to see a decent bed ready for planting in a month! Also, I remember my grandpap starting his plants in a small hot house made of a couple of windows and a box made of four planks. I have everything I need so guess what I’m doing this weekend! It’s still pretty cold in our neck of the woods, so I figure I can get tomatoes started.
