Default Fresh horse manure question

The message
from Broadback contains these words:

I have just collected the first of several loads of horse manure,
consisting of straw and chaff as well as horse droppings. Owing to the
weather of late it is quite dry. When I have finally completed my heap
am I best watering before covering or leaving as is?


I always finish off "completed" compost heaps with a liberal baptism
of a couple of buckets of high-nitrogen activation liquid such as dilute
urine or nettle/comfrey liquid. Then cap it off with a rain-proof cover.

Janet.



Do you use the 'nigh****er' variety
