So I've been wheelbarrowing loads of horse and chicken manure, used bedding, wet hay, and leaves to compost there till planting in spring.

I'm only growing veges and berries in raised beds again this year. I'm bad though--haven't been able to get my big flower garden cleaned up yet....lots of dead stuff needs to be hauled out. Also need to finish my rock wall around it too.
