Though I suppose you might also have a problem with too high a nitrogen content. So in the end, the best place is still the compost pile! As they say on GardenWeb...It All Leads Back To Compost.
    Thanks for the clarification! Guess you are right!

      Okay, there are actually certainly crops that you are to plant by the light of the moon, but that is the point, by the light of the moon, not big high powered lights waking up your neighbors. He sounds crazy to me! Yes, I might tinker a bit in the garden in the evening or perhaps even in the middle of the night if I couldn't sleep or the dog decided she wanted out, but I certainly am not setting up lights to do it. I would either not do it if the moon wasn't full enough or turn on my patio light and hope it shed enough light. If not, I wasn't meant to be doing that right now!

          Now I wonder what my neighbors are saying about me. I go outside and garden at night all the time. I don't sleep very much and sometimes I just can't finish everything during the day. One night I put spotlights on my shed and repainted it until like 2am.

          Not crazy, not burying dead bodies, just can't sleep.

          There is never anything on tv late at night and sometimes I think if I go outside I will expend enough energy so that I can go to sleep.

          Good news I have NO corn.

            It was a dark and omnious night. BA peeks nervously out his window, watching sarah4554 stab violently into the ground, mutilating the earth with an otherwise seemingly harmless garden hoe. The orgy of carnage went on, late into the night, as she continued her psychopathic rampage against Mother Earth by... um... painting the shed! The horror! What has that poor shed ever done to anyone? And yet, there it lies, in the dead of the night, drenched in stroke after stroke of bloody paint in eerie silence. Won't anyone think of the sheds?!"

              My husband wanted burning bushes and ran out of daylight. I held a flashlight while he planted them one night! So, I guess he's crazy too. Guess I'm an accomplice.

                  Strange. That's what my ex said when I emailed her detailing how I was going to get out of debt.

                  *drum roll*

                  Thank you. I'm here all night!

                    My mom goes out at 2:30 every morning when the paper gets there to walk across the street to the mailbox in her nightgown and robe to get the paper, because she can't sleep. Sometimes, she is able to get back to sleep after that. LOL!

                      Sometimes people get cooled off and it makes them sleepy. Maybe that's the case with your mom.
