I have horse poo & I'm happy about it

The horse poo arrived this morning (Friday). It's really 2 year old composted organic horse poo. I figured if I was going to have to pay for dirt, it might as well be really good stuff, better than I could 'make' in my own compost pile. Well, this is.

The man who delivered said I should use it soon because it's full of worms. This is good, very good. The worms will pull the compost down into the existing soil. This is even better, it means I can just spread it and plant directly into it without having to dig it into the ground. YAY, thank heavens for small blessings. Oh, did I mention, it's 15 bags, 75 litres in each bag?

Not sure what it will do to the slugs and snails that get covered over. Like these:



I also mowed yesterday. For all the weeding and clearing I've done, I still find something truly wondrous about the look and smell of a freshly mown lawn. There is a hand push-mower here and I use it. I love the way it rattles as I push it back and forth. The grassy patch is small. It only takes about 10 minutes to mow it, then I sit in my chair and read for a while warmed by the sun and surrounded by the light fragrances of the newly cut grass and the roses.
