We live next door to a 1200 head dairy. Tons to manure to deal with. I’ll give you three guesses what we fertilize our garden and hay pastures with and the first two guesses don’t count.

Best fertilizer there is.

Makes your vegies taste better too.

Last time I bought broccoli in a store they had used so much sulfur in the soil it tasted like I was eating a match and it just plain stunk.

So you are growing your vegetables in anti-biotic, growth hormone laden soil.

Yes, it’s not as as nasty as carnivore or omnivore poop. Recycled grass, basically.

I envy you.
I would much rather smell the manure of the farm than whats spread around by democrats and Washington.
(I grew up by a dairy farm and was sent out to the pastures with a shovel and wheel barrow)

Chicken manure is tops as well. Just need to be careful in spreading since it can burn the crop being fertilized if too concentrated.
