Finally found some compost

Last Saturday I actually found two free hours, and I checked out a manure pile that a friend said he had. Wow, I got the best compost I've ever seen! This fellow said that the pile was once 5 or 6 feet high, but now it's only about 2 to 2.5 feet tall. No stink, no smell, except for a nice earthy smell. In the center of the pile is the softest, best looking compost one can imagine. I got half the pile with one truckload Saturday, and hope to get the rest this coming Saturday.

Sure, I still do need to find several more goldmines like this one. But it's a good start.

Did I mention that I'm moving my patch after about 7 years at the old site? The soil on the end of the garden that I've been using is really nice now. So I may be crazy, but I'm moving to the other end to concentrate on that soil for a while.
