I planted some collards in a pot full of it and they did well. I will try tomatoes this spring. Any draw backs to using that stuff? It be's that way sometimes. www.sunpoolcompany.com

A customer of mine had an old 12x12 dogpen he put his leaves in. The dirt it created had built up 18" i guess. He planted onions in it spaced about 12" apart. They weighed 2lbs and had stalks 3ft high as thick as your thumb.

Feed them plenty until they start bulbing It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

It won't hurt corn or broad leaf stuff but it will everything else. Almost all the cow manure these days has Amino pyralids in it from farmers spraying their pasture.
