cotton burr compost

[pappywith4]

anyone ever hear or use this? I can get some for 40.00 a yard mixed 50/50 with top grade sifted top soil.

I'm using this for the first time pappy with recommendation from a local nursery. From what I can tell it takes a lot of nutrients to grow cotton plants and the compost is rich in nutrients. I'm mixing mine in with a peat based mix.

I bought this stuff.

Thanks for the link Cappy. I might pick some up to try it out. I have some very poor soil, and maybe this might help to spruce it up for the inground plants. If it works good, then get some for the potting mix next year. Unfortunately the closest place for me is about an hour away in Greenwood. But that's ok, I love to go to a new nursery to see what they have.

It's been ages since I hauled cotton to the gin (my farming days are over), but this stuff is magic when used in a vegetable garden. My milk cow loved it too.

thanks for the reply. I just bought a yard of sifted top soil and a yard of cotton burr compost. I know this stuff is hot it was smoking when he pulled it from the bottom. I may need to till some oak leaves in it to tame it down!! what do you think cappy?
