My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Compost

12 years ago

Hello all,

I made me 3 raised beds today and went to a local dirt supplier. I bought compost that I was told was 60% Cow manure and 40% Chicken manure that has been aged 2 years at least. I do not have a Ph meter and was wondering what you guys think the Ph would be at? I have not added anything as of yet, afraid to really until I get a better feel for the soil.

Welcome any advice on a good Ph meter to but.

Thanks, Bill
