I live in north-central AZ, at 5,000 feet. I am new here. I told a friend from Mexico that we just put a load of horse manure on a garden bed we're starting and he said, "Don't use manure. It gets too hot and it dries out too quickly. You'll have to water it a lot." He said, "you have a lot of junipers on your property, right?"
We do. They are one-seed and Utah junipers. He said that the soil should be good. Just use litter from the trees instead of manure. He said the litter is especially good for growing peppers. I'd always thought junipers were very allelopathic, but the research I've googled up indicates that they aren't. Isn't that interesting? Should I try my friend's advice?
