Yes Buck, I realize why they make manure spreaders. Thats a #2 shovel you are refering too correct? My question was about pp specificaly. I have never dealt with it and wasn't sure about it's use for growing human consumables. I seem to recall something mentioned way back in my younger days when i had a memory about pp having some kind of toxins or extra high urea content or something to that efect. Boondox mentioned something about pathogens which i am going to investigate further. All in all it sounds like really good fertilizer as long as i stick with the well composted stuff, which all of this is. Think i'll go and grab another 5 tons or so this morning. Thanks for the feed back guys! rccoyote
