[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 71914, member: 245"] Depends on how well rotted the manure is. I put about 6" of well rotted manure on about two years ago and I plan to do it again this spring. Mind you where we live is quite sandy and we don't have much organic matter in the soil. Fresh manure is no good because it hasn't had time to build up the bacteria that turns the organic matter into nitrogen and will actually pull the existing nitrogen causing bacteria out of the soil. Rotted manure is good stuff: adds nitrogen to the soil, helps retain water and helps soil structure. At least that's what my wife who has a degree in Botany tells me anyway. :roll: [/QUOTE]
