Yep. The feed is already paid for and the horse only uses it once! Hilarious!

Seriously though...keep in mind that this is just one person's findings, and I haven't used it with plants that aren't expendable. I'm sure that everything will sink down as the materials decompose, but I'm not sure of anything else. I've taken cuttings/pieces of a lot of these and started them elsewhere as well...just in case. As long as we have materials on hand to reset the plants or cover exposed roots when/if that happens it might turn out okay in the long run, but starting with short term projects might be best. I figure with the temps here cooling way down now that decomposition will be slowed significantly enough for my fall display beds to make it, but during warmer weather it might be too quick a process.
