Hubby has access to old piles of the straw, hay and manure that comes from elephants, zebras, buffalo, ostrich and so forth. These piles are 20 plus feet high and have been sitting for 2 to 5 years and are essentially dirt now. Would that be good to use as dirt in containers? We used some that was 4 years old last year and it seemed a bit heavy but the peppers and toms did well. we are using the same pile as we did last year, now 5 years old, and it seems even heavier. What would be good to increase drainage? Could we use fresh hay manure mixed with this to put in the containers? what about the younger stuff? Thanks, Kathy
