Great TD, Alpaca & Rabbit are my 2 top picks for growing melons & maters.It doesnt have to age as long & high in potassium.

Dont pay to much for it.If you have to hand load it, your doing them a favor.Anything loaded with sawdust or wood shavings will need to sit for 3=5 years before you can use it.If its loaded with shavings I wont pay for it.I usually dont pay more then 10 or 20$ a load(aged) if they have a loader to load it.I can always find a farmer wanting the crap of his land.

I only used it for manure tea. Honestly, it makes the plants just spring out of the ground for growth. It's directly usable by the plants, and makes for wonderful side dressing. You can't overdo this stuff.

I used to grow 5 foot tall pepper plants by side dressing with rabbit manure tea, but alas, the rabbit died.
