JUNE 13 2020
 A STUDY OF  OF MANURE PILES....FROM RECTUM TO ROSES ----  REALLY... A CAREWFULLY  "MUCKED" STALL  PRODUCES PERFEC T G ROWING SOIL...  WHEN  WE HAD A HORSE OR TWO HERE WITH ALL THE DONKES,  THE MANURE P;ILE WAS VERY DARK IN COLOR  ( LOTS  OF WHAT MAKES THE GRASS GROW GREEN) AND I TRUNDLED IT OUT BEYONED THE POND IN A VERY ORGANIZED   SERIES       A  B  C  PILES IN A ROW

PILE " A" WAS CLOSEST TO THE  BARN AND WHEN THAT GOT 5  OR 6 FEET TALL,  I WOUL D GET 4 BAGS OF PELITIZED LIME TO SHAKE ALL OVER THE PILE AND THURN THA TPILE OVER WHILE WORKING IN INTO POSITION    "B" --- THUS   EMPTYING POSITION "A" TO ACCEPT MORE  CURRENT  YOUNGER  STUFF FROM THE BARN......  ONCE "A " WOULD GET TO BE 5 OR 6 FEET HIGH AGAIN ( SINCE SHlT HAPPENS  regularly... )       IT WOULD BE TIME TO GO GET 8 BAGS OF PELETIZED LIME AND  SPREQD 4 OVER PILE "B" WHIOLD CHURNING IT INTO PILE "C"  THUS GIVING ME ROOM TO LIME "A" AND CHURN INTO POSITION  " B".. AND "A" WOULD BE EMPTY AGAIN...  IS THAT CLEAR??? 
  THIS EVOLVED INTO  A FULL PILE "A" AGAIN AND AT THAT TIME PILE  "C"  WAS PERFECT DARK TOPSOIL.. WITHOUT ONE PEBLE OF ROCK.. TOTALLY PURE STUFF........ MY  PERFECT MANURE MANAVEMENT WAS DEFINED AS  ADDING ONE  BAG  OF LIME  TO  THE VERY CURRENT PILE BY THE BARN AND CHURN AND CARRY A SCOOP TO ADD TO  PILE "A" TAKE A DEEPER SCOOP FROM "A"  TO "B"  THEN  "B" TO "C"  AND GET A DEEP SCOOP OF "C" AND CARRY IT TO WHEREVER TEH GARDENING COMMITTEE WANTED TO HAVE A GARDEN..  WORKED PERFECTLY.. MINIMUM EFFORT.

WHEN WE MOVED IN THERE WAS NOT ONE BLADE OF GRASS-- THERE STILL ISN'T WHAT "SCOTTS" WOULD CALL LAWN, BUT WHAT THE HECK , IT IS GREEN....TEH FLAT FIELD WAS GRAVEL AND ROCKS..  IT IS GREEN NOW. AND WE HAVE SOME LOVELY GARDENING EFFORTS THANKS TO GRACE AND JOYCE... ALL OUTSIDE TEH MAIN GATE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAD MARY... A WONDERFUL DONKEY WHO WAS TOTALLY LOOSE ON THE PROPERTY. --- SPECTACULAR PERSONALITY  SENSE OF HUMOR... TIDY PERSPONAL; HABITS ( SHE MOVED HER BOWELS ONLY IN 3 SPECIFIC  PLACES ON CRAZY ACRES.. )  BUT SHE HAD TEH ABILITY TO EAT ANYTHING GREEN OR FLOWERING...  CONSEQUENTLY  GARDENING WAS EXTERNAL.

MY  CURRENT MANURE MANAGEMENT FELL SHORT OF  THAT ROUTINE SO OF LATE ( THE PAST YEAR) WE HAVE KEPT TH STALLK SUPER CLEAN.. WHICH ALL THE CAMERA PEOPLE LOVE, BUT THE FLOWERS DON'T AND WE ENDED UP WITHA LIGHT COLORED PILE OF MOSTLY SHAVINGS AND HAY  WHICH MARK TRUNDLED TO QA PLACE BESIDE THE DRIVEWAY  NOT ONLY COULD I NOT SELL IT, I COULDN' GIVE IT AWAY -  

SHlT HAS  VALUE ------ESPECIALLY IN POLITICS. 
    
NOW IMAY NOT HAVE THE REST OF THIS 100 % CORRECGT... BUT CLOSE.... 
IN HAMILTON-- ONE OF THIS STATE'S MOST WEALTHY COMMUNITIES.... A FORTUNE  BEING  MADE ?OVER AGAIN? BY MR  PETER???XXXXXX.
WHEN SOME LAW WAS PASSED ABOUT MANURE PILES ON THE MANY HORSE FARMS IN HAMILTON ---- PEOPLE WER NOT ALLOWED TO COMPOST ONL LESS THAT 10 ACRES ..   NICE GUY PETER  OFFERED TO LET PEOPLE DUMP MANURE ON HIS PROPERTY .   SKIP AHEAD TO A MORE COMPOST FRIENDLY TIME, MR  XXXXXX HAS A HUGE ON GOING BUSINESS WHERE PEOPLE , INCLUDING ME, OFTEN GO TO DUMP THIER MANURE.  HIS AAA BBB CCC  PILES ARE EACH THE SIZE OF OUR ARENA AND  THE EQUIPMENT HE HAS IS SPECTACULAR, NEW AND PERFECT AS HE SHIFTS AND SORTS DIGFFERENT  MULCHES AND TOP SOIL   18 WHEELERS COME AND GO FROM THERE CONSTANTLY IT IS WOPRTH A QUICK GOOGLE  THRU THEIR WEB ......BRICK ENDS FARM  MA...  AND AS YOU SCROLL THRU  BE SURE TO LOOK AT THIER TRI AXLE  GREEN MACHINE-  LIKE A GIANT ANT  IT IS THE FINAL  DIGESTER   WHICH PRODUCES TEH FINEST TOPSOIL AROUND.
SO I GO THERE AND DEPOSIT OUR GOOD MANURE FOR FREE WHICH I  THEN BUY BACK AS  PROCESSED .

THEY ARE FUSSY THO.. IN NO GOOD HORSEMANLIKE  RUN  STABLE IS ANY TRASH ALLOWED IN THE MANURE PILE ---CONSTANT OFFENDER IS HAY STRINGS WHICH WOULD  "CONSTIPATE "THE DIGESTING MACHINE.   SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE BANNED FROM THE  VERY EXCLUSIVE MANURE PROCESSING CLUB WHICH  MR. PETER XXXX MAINTAINS..   ANY TIME I HAVE GONE THERE, IHAVE SEEN ONLY ONE OR TWO PIECES OF HAYSTRING DANGLING   IN THE MANY P[ILES THAT ARE EASILY THE SIZE OF OUR ARENA.  I AM TOLD.. BY THEM AS MIGHT KNOW ---THAT HE PROCESSES MUCH MORE THAN HORSE MANURE... ;IKE UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA LEFTOVERS?????  BUT I ONLY DRIVE IN TEH  ONE AREA  OF THEIR  PILE   "A".
 THERE IS A LOT GOING ON IN THE WOODS I HAVE NOT SEEN EXCEPT ON THE GOOGLE EARTH VIEW...
IT IS INTERESTING 

ONE MAN'S TRASH  IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE.. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
