Default chook manure breakdown

I, unfortunately, learned the hard way that very fresh horse manure

is
enough to burn plants to death - I'm the only person I know who can
kill rhubarb!


How on earth did you do that? By that I mean what did you do with the
horse poop to manage to kill rhubarb?

I stupidly put very fresh (green) horse poo onto the rhubarb bed.
Rhubarb said "screw you" and promptly died a nasty brown, burnt death.
I didn't think it was possible, but it is. Since I love rhubarb, I'm
treating the replacement plants with a little more kindness!
