Hi,

I was interested in the posting on fat grass, however Glen had indicated that sheep manure may be a better choice for our prairie climate. I'm having some trouble finding information on this. Some questions I have:

1. When Glen says to keep moist, how long does that mean? Will I have to water daily, every other day, weekly? And for how long (I'm assuming until the manure has disappated into the lawn)?

2. Can I spread grass seed at the same time?

3. Is there an ideal time of day and/or day time temperature during which this should be done (the past week or so we have been anywhere between 22 and 30 degrees)?

4. Does sheep manure usually have weed seeds in it?

5. How long will it take to get through the grass into the soil (I have two dogs and I would prefer they did't drag the manure in on themselves, so I will probably have to do front and back at seperate times)?

6. The bags I have seen indicate coverage of 250 square feet/15 kg. Should I apply at that rate?

7. I'm assuming I apply this with a rake...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has any other imput I might need, please feel free to let me know!

Thanks in advance,

Chantal
