Manure is too good, but not familiar with it.
Well, on the lighter side, I don't think I'd care for the manure smell.

Quote:Georgia Red Clay Georgia's red soils are old soils that have been leached of nutrients by weathering. The high acidity is due to this leaching of previously existing bases by rainwater hydraulics, leaving a high silica content product that is also high in iron oxides, resulting in the reddish color. Red soils contain little organic matter. Plants that grow on red soils generally draw nutrients from organic material that is sitting on top of the soil layer.
I wonder how this happened.
