tveguy3 said:Since I have 20+ horses, I use well composted horse manure on my whole garden, Including potatoes. I've never had issues with scab. I also have chickens, so I use the chicken manure selectively on the garden after it has composted for a year or more. Last year I used it on my artichokes. I buried it in a trench and covered it and then planted them. Had the best crop ever. I haven't used chicken manure on the potatoes though. I remember a long time ago using chicken manure that was a bit too fresh on my tomato patch, and getting wonderful foliage. Whistling Hilarious!


Well, that horse manure and chicken manure are one of the reasons you get such great production on your tomato plants. Thumbs up
