have any neighbors with cows??? cow manure is good...so is horse manure...compost is always good....maple leaves....those are good things to put in the garden, but make sure the manure is aged, not too fresh, older, the better.

Kwass,
Till it in, if it sits for to long the nutrients will form amonias and will disappear from the manure.
