Default horse manure
From: "Faye Tarzwell"

my landlord offered to bring some horse manure so I can use in the flower
beds and the bare spots in the lawn.
Is it ok to use horse manure instead of cow manure? How should I mix it (if
necessary at all) and when should I do it (fall or early spring)?

Horse manure is best hot composted--while it has fertilizer value, Due to the
horses diet and digestive system the manure may contain some or a lot of viable
seed which can sprout as weeds in your garden. Hot composting will destroy most
of the seeds
