Ok, it was the green manure you were telling us to work into the soil. I understand. (manure usually means something else to me)
I'm mostly a city girl but I have lived in the country for a number of years and had cattle, chickens and raised corn and smaller garden items. At that time it was more of an experience than a lifestyle, I'm afraid. Just enough to get my feet wet I guess. I still have a lot to learn....but I'm having fun in the process.
