We're having the sheep shorn in a couple of weeks so we started cleaning out the manure that accumulated in the sheep barn over the winter.

We've gotten two loads out and up to the garden so far, roughly 18 buckets worth or 90 gallons of dry, loose manure.
sounds good to me.

herbivore poo is prime plant food, but prime because either dung
beetles or worms or other creatures work on breaking it down further.

have you ever considered a worm farm?

I think that we have an unintentional worm farm out in the garden after many years of sheep manure and compost additions. Whenever I go out to work in the garden, the robins hang around, knowing that I'm going to turn up a bunch of worms for them.
