We just had a load of composted manure  IMG_1052consisting of cow, chicken, sheep, horse, and a little bit of pig delivered to us (free of charge except for the trucking fee),  Barry Standish, who is a descendant of the famous Miles Standish has a farm in Lakeville and has become a “friend of the garden” through his generous donation.

The manure has been composting for sixyears and is almost like soil at this point.  It is available for use in individual gardens as well as in our community compost bins.  We plan on getting another delivery of this “black gold” at end of summer for use next spring.

IMG_1054Remember that our community compost bins are available as well.
