FYI: King Soopers has composted sheep manure by the bag
At it's North College store, at least, for $2.29. They also have Sheep
Peat at $3.49, which is 50 cents cheaper than Home Depot. The manure
comes in a 1.25 c/f bag, slightly smaller than the 1.5 c/f bag of
sheep peat, but unless my math skills have atrophied more than I
realize it's still a better price per unit.
