Â*Â* most composted cow manure is very poor in
terms of nutrients, but yes, it is an organic
material and can be useful in a garden if you
have poor/heavy soil.
Horse manure is really great stuff if you can get it.Â* Maybe check with
a nearby stable or agricultural college; any place that keeps horses is
invariably generating "horsepucky" and may well be happy to give it away
for free. Alpaca or lama manure might also be good but I can't say for
sure.

An organic farmer once cautioned on using stuff from a stable because it
may contain considerable pesticide used to keep flies down there.
Where I live there are a lot of mushroom houses and depleted mushroom
soil is available.Â* The only concern is weed seeds.
Thank you all!
