Yeah, some of the pellets are a little "fresh" and some is more like dust. It's mixed with straw and sitting on top of my leaf compost layer, which is on top of some sandy FL soil. I was thinking of tilling it in, but my friend said just leave the goat stuff on top or between the rows and the rain will wash it down into the soil slowly. I guess I'll test it on a few potted plants first and see how the react.
