What is the best manure to use, or does it really matter? I have access to cow, horse and goat manure. Also I am able to get "used" straw.

I live near a horse corral that advertises...Free manure help yourself. Is this a good thing to mix into your garden with some potash mixed in?

You are a very lucky person Dorothy to have such an abundance of natural manures. Go for it, but may I suggest you add some sulfate of potash for helping the flowering and fruiting stages.Your animal manures are brilliant but lack sufficient quantities of potash. Good luck,and healthy satisfying gardening.
Cheers Bill T. :)
