I also add some of this when no fresh can be found. It is at walmart for around $2 and is supposed to be the same as black kow ($5) at .5-.5-.5

There are a lot of horse stables in my area that offer free manure. Would I need to compost it before use? I saw the black kow at HD the other day and was tempted to buy some. I will definitely check out walmart to see if they have the Earthgro!
