Tania... Rabbits! invest in a few rabbit hutches and rabbit will give you copious amounts of manure. granted it isn't free, but it is much easier to add to the garden than horse manure or a cover crop since you are no tilling the garden. (The cover crop can be cut and laid right down on the garden though to shade out the roots from regrowing into a new plant). Nor do you have to wait because it is too hot to put on the garden. You can plant right into freshly added rabbit poo and not worry about burning your plants. I have 14 rabbits, but they don't add near what I need, but it is better than nothing. I add it directly to my greenhouse pots for my dwarf tomato project. During the winter I put their cages into the high tunnels or greenhouse ( the one I plant right in the ground in) and let them poop right down the row as I move the cages every week.
