How large will your patch be next year? Yes, start adding manure this fall.

First couple of years you can add up to six inches of manures and compost. After that keep an eye on the total test results as some areas might even suggest you back off the manures at some point. Yes to much is indeed possible.

Learning about ballanced natural soils is indeed a learning experience. One that has a noble cause. Time and observation are on your side. Showing results here and asking for comments is not to difficult. Andy Wolf, Stephen and Rocky are hot into it on another thread. We need to learn about ratios too! Read and read while you are learning.
