yet again i am going to speak ~~~~
other fun with manure depends on what it is
i would be wary of horse stable unless i knew they used organic bedding
stuff like oilseed stalks after spraying with "desiccant" and herbicides/pesticides are best avoided.
organic deep litter from a pig pen is better than gold
organic chook is ace but needs processing even if it has straw etc to bulk it out
moo deep litter is good for conditioning soil but not that rich in nutrients.
a mix of the above or separate heaps is a good start.
as a general rule if it is a rich one like chook, ferment it for at least a few months or use it sparingly when turning soils or use it to burn off weeds and feed trees(leave a few feet between trunk and the "inner" of a target)
good in mixture if it is guano but in straw or whatever cover it and ferment it(damp) and use it as a high feed top dressing along the root line of rows avoiding stems and leaves
much as you would fishbloodandbone
moo deep litter, use as a soil conditioner in huge amounts, i really mean huge, make it a foot deep on a poor soil, you can dig some in but just spreading it, planting into it for a year(see pumpkins etc) will give ace results
good horse is mostly straw etc, compost it with everything else in layers , plenty of air, several heaps in rotations is good.
it is better as made compost than direct or fermented
pig pen
where do i start? i will have a think
ps mixture will have a lot of mentions under the dpack brandname ![](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |
