Thank You Craig for sharing the two ways of checking manures. I bought some sheep manure from a lady. When I asked her if she sprays any kind of fertilizers or herbersides etc. She said never has. She uses the manures from her animals in her vegetable garden etc. I bought lettuce, coriander, Spinach, radish and strawberries from her. They were YUMMY! Especially the Strawberries. Our garden is still to be established. I have mostly Nasturtiums, Dill, Borage, Marigolds etc planted. I just planted some Black Eyed beans for the first time because I saw them on the catalogue of the Nursery we ordered from. I think they also go by the name of Cow Peas. I tried to grow them several times, but they didn't germinate. Well once these beans go to seed. I will have viable seeds for next time. I believe in supporting local farmers and business people. Our daughter, our nextdoor neighbours also bought sheep manure from the same lady. I organised an order, to make it worth a trip for her. Our daughter filled some 10 litre buckets (food safe)1/2 way with rain water. Added the sheep manure 1/4 full. Covered them with lids and she left them to stand for about 3 weeks. She said the manure broke down very well. I also did the same. Waiting for 3 weeks to pass. Yes I have seen a few videos saying don't use manures, especially in America. Grazon is the worst of them and has wiped out well established gardens. So I guess it has scared them. So they go to the other extreme. Give manures a bad name. Manures have been used for thousands of years. It was only in the 1950s after the second world war that they started to use these chemical fertilizers and herbicides. Love all your videos as they are well thought out and go right to the point. 🌿💚🌿
