Hello Moonstar,
I think that Buffalo manure will do just fine...
Rabbit poop is one of the best things for doing composting and adding manure to the fields as there's suppose to be hardly no
weed~
seeds in there.
I used to have 40+ of them, I loved them....
And chickens, we used to have a ba~zillion of those too... And that is also great for the compost, and if you use it in the compost, it's a great starter to the stuff in the pile, because it's HOT!! (*Never use fresh chicken poop on a garden, or any sort, it's too hot when fresh, but let it set for awhile and you've got your hands on some great stuff, wish I has some!!)
I have 5 raised beds on my mom's side of the backyard, she lives right next door to me here in town... and we did 2 the first year, 3 more this year, and we think we'd like 2 more next
spring..
We love to grow alot of vegetables, so we need the room. We initionally did the raised beds as it's so much easier maintaining the garden and picking.... but we too have sandy loam but it also has several low spots, right where we wanted to put the garden and that's the ultimate reason for the raised beds... Depends on you, and do you have access to wood that is cheap/ and help that is cheap to construct it or would you do it...???
My husband and his father did it for me and my mom and we used rough~cut lumber... and planed to seats on top on either side to sit on and now splinters...
What are the conditions for where the
trees are?
Sunny?
None at all near there.
Same type of soil......
I think some of the other gardeners may be able to help you with that, Papito is into
trees... or Bill....
Well bring it back up to the top if noone answers right away!!!
Good talking to you, stick around we have a great bunch of gardeners here...
Weezie
