Rick, I do have two raised beds that we had been growing vegetables in and thought to use it for raising my grafting stock...now that you mentioned a succulent bed, I have definitely decided to do it. And then your mentioning chicken manure...we could place free range chickens temporarily on the raised beds enclosed in scratch pens, and allow them to scratch into and poop on the soil. After about a week, will remove the chickens and pens, add green and brown vegetation waste, cover with corrugated tin that will be heated by the sun and allow to compost for about 4 months. By then my grafting stock should be ready to plant.
Any helpful comments/suggestions about the above ideas are welcome.
