What to Add?

[bigredfeather]

Over the weekend I made a 3'x25' raised bed. I had a pile of 2 year old compost that was made up of bedding from my goats, chickens, and rabbits. This stuff is very rich. The bed is 8" tall, and I filled it about 3/4 full of this compost. I worked it up a bit with the tiller, but it is still very clumpy. What should I add ,if anything, to this. I am guessing some peat moss would be on the top of the list.

Well, since the compost is so rich, you might want to just add some good garden soil. Most gardens would be happy to be half compost, half dirt. Yours would be richer than that, still.

I wouldn't add anything. I'd just work it over with a heavy bow rake until I got most of the clumps subdued.

It sounds like great stuff!

Peat moss is a good additive generally but it is really hydrophobic, and I don't think you need it anyway.
