    We are dairy farmers and I am looking at putting up a greenhouse as this has been a passion of mine. I was wondering if anyone knows or could give me any websites that show me how to mix a good soil using our own manure that may be good for potting or flower beds. We may turn this into a business as well!!! I am sure that sterilization is involved and I just cannot seem to find any info on how to go about this!
    Thanks

    Hi Lynette--the ATTRA site has lots of info. Here's one discussion of potting mixes, note specially the talk about composting. Not sterilizing, usually...but all manure would have to be composted before using in any container media.
