I am just kind of winging this.  For starters, I don’t think that you are supposed to use horse-shit in the garden because any seeds that the horses  have eaten will germinate.

I did anyway because who has cow shit nowadays?  I figured that I could combat this problem by tarping the whole deal over until we planted; then once the rows are planted we (Sarah) can lay down newspaper and cover that with salt hay to keep the weeds at bay.  I sprinkled in some chicken shit and some ash from this years burn pile in  just for good measure.  The chicken shit was seasoned so as not to ‘burn’ the plants…something I  should have looked into for the horse shit. 

70′ of tarp that I used to cover the freshly tilled garden this morning.  Gale warning up from 6pm tonight through tomorrow mid-day. I can’t envision any problems.
