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.
