It is time to put the garden to bed. We've planned to have our friend, Dr. Free, come over from Paragonah with his tractor to till it, but weve wanted to have some organic material mixed in, something more than leaves. Today I went over to the horse barns at the county fair grounds. Bingo. Black Gold. I mean, this stuff would cost $5 per bag at Home Depot. It is a mix of hay and horse poop, but it has been self-composting for who knows how long. It was steaming as I shoveled it into the truck. I think we'll be back here every day. This stuff is going on the garden, on the lawn, on the orchard, on the dinner salad . . . .
