Last Wednesday I came home from work and found that a friend of mine had left me a pile of turkey manure. She had her nephew that owns a turkey operation bring her a load. She didn't need all of it so called to see if I might want some. Did I want some??? And I didn't have to haul it. Wow, what a gift. It snowed on it and I was busy thursday so I had to wait until Friday to do anything with it.
When I got up friday the sun was shining so nice fooling me into thinking it was warmer than it was, I decided to get out there and spread the turkey manure. I got my trusty wheelbarrow and a shovel. I took a couple of loads over to the new flower bed in process and then...
My Knight In Shining Armor aka Dearly Beloved came home from running some errands and took over shoveling operations. With his help we got the entire pile spread in just over an hour. That's a lot of poop to scoop. It isn't heavy but mercy me there was a lot there.
I am most happy to be able to show you the remains. Not much to look at. My DB is a demon with a shovel in his hand. It would have taken me a week to do what he did in such a short time. Can you tell I'm pleased??
I spread it quite thick on the area where I intend to make the new bed. This spring I will till it all into the soil. My mind is racing around thinking of all the plants I will be able to plant here. I really wish I had some lovely rocks to stack around the edges of this bed. I would love to make it just high enough one could sit on the edge comfortably. I wonder where I could get some rocks.... I guess this is just some more winter dreamin'.
