P better then compost? or use both? thanks Paul

Most horse places are only too willing to let you collect for free -
if you've got something to shift the stuff then it might work out a
lot cheaper, and you can be fussier about what you collect than if it
was delivered.



My friends daughter has just moved her horse to a field with one other
horse. One of the rental stipulations for the field is that they dispose of
all horse manure.

They bag it up and bring it to me. I would never have believed the amount of
s__t that comes out of two horses.

ATM the heap is 4' x 12' x 3' high - and it`s only been going for six weeks.

I`m in desperately need of 10 pallets to build three compost bins.
