Which soil should I do first?
Should I put the manure or peat moss first? Or does it not matter? #GregGang @sarahsalith #SolomonSealClub #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants

I agree with @grandmaBee - we mix in manure with the soil first and I hear that the stuff in the yellow bag is pretty good. We get our from the farmer. 😬 But he mixes it well with straw so it's not so bad. (:
I would use the peat if your ground is very hard or has a lot of clay. The peat moss will help keep the water near the plant.
If you have really good ground, you don't need it.

@PlantyPlanter I'd LOVE to get my hands on a bag that big! I just have no where to put it at the moment. I guess I need another tub. (:
Hmm I sent a picture of some information from my encyclopedia of organic gardening 1975 with some info but for some reason I can't post photos it says the amount to use depends on the physical condition of your soil if it's already open naturally you'll need to use less than in Sandy or clay soil one part p to two soil for every 3 in deep you dig work in 1-in layer of peat moss and then spread your manure with that at the same time until it together
@sarahsalith I just got it at Lowes
