Oh well, one good thing about gardening is that it's the only activity which people are glad to got lots of poops around. I used to help my mum a lot in her garden, she used chicken dump mixed in sawdust. I'm not sure she knew anything about cold/hot manure. She said the organic manure were far better than tho synthetic fertilizers as the former helps in building the soil the latter will end up loosening the soil over time.
