Ava tracked down a local source of 2 year old cattle manure today, however, hard as nails! One other lottie holder at our lottie association got a truck load and chucked it onto his plot at the start of winter and hoped with weather would break it down, but it hasn't. Seems such a waste it just sitting there, to be taken for free, but if it is so hard, I figure is is kinda unusable ??? :-/ ???
