i have horses and so have alot of horse manure. i have been composting a pile of manure and bedding straw all summer. i also have a worm bed which i put kitchen waste, manure, leaves and such in for the worms to eat. i plan on tilling these in to my soil for my winter garden and then also for next years tom's. does this sound like a good idea? should i get the soil tested? i live in southern ca. thanks

just spread my compost pile out yesterday and was about 6" deep all over area to be gardened. i turned over about 4'x6' of space where i will plant some winter plants. i am thinking spinach, lettuce, cabbage and maybe some beets.
