Cautions with using manure

I'm posting a couple of links about using manure in gardens.

Thanks for the links very interesting and true! I always wonder about the cats going in the garden or even the dogs wandering through the yard! You never know and who wants to get sick that way!

Nice links, thanks. We always suggest using well aged composted manure, if you are going to use manure. I don't use manure at all. If I were going to use it, I would use it as one ingredient for my compost pile, not directly added to the soil.

Nice reading. Very informative. Bottom line is, whatever type of fertilizer we use, utmost caution must be taken.

Thanks for the info.

Spread it in the Fall. Plant in the Spring.
