Well, I didn't exactly sell the manure last year..Had the corrals scraped out, which hadn't been done for several years due to it always raining about the time I tried to line someone up to do it. But last September was dry and beautiful and I called a local realtor who had mentioned he wanted more manure to landscape his country estate..He arranged to get it loaded and hauled by dump truck, six dump truck loads of beautiful black "dirt'" which probably cost him $100 a load to have loaded and hauled..I paid nothing! He was happy tho, and I was delighted! This year, with a little tractor of my own, I think I can keep up with removing it from the corrals.. And plenty of neighbors like to come and get it for free..Maybe I'll bag up the composted stuff and sell it at the farmer's market! BTW, flies don't seem to be a problem here in Alaska, and manure piles don't seem to produce flies. The biggest insect problem is the MOSQUITO!
