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.

What is better? pile composting or top dressing beds?

last year

If I put a layer of horse manure on a top of my empty vegetable beds now , will it bring more nutrients to soil than if I make big pile of horse manure now, let it sit till spring, and then will add to beds?
