mhpgardener | Planting Tomatoes - Using Horse Manure Compost for Soil Building @mhpgardener | Uploaded April 2012 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
I'm doing something different this year, planting all of my tomatoes in the same garden. But the soil needs some work. So I brought in enough composted horse manure to give me about 4-5 inches to till into the soil. The red clay is not easy to work with, but if past experience is any indication, the tomatoes will do just fine. Anytime I've ever used the horse manure, the plants have done extremely well. We'll take a look at what I used to help with the hardening off process. And that little snake? He's still out there somewhere. I couldn't find him after I shut off the camera. :-)
