Horse Manure

I get an attack of the irritations every time I see advice about
the
'need' to rot horse manure..I always wonder about whether the
person
giving the advice has ever experiemented or is just parroting book
learning.
It doesn't need rotting at all, ever. It may need some judicious
thought about placement but it can go on some spot or other in the
garden straight from the end of the horse's alimentary canal. I
know
because I've used it that fresh and never found any detrimental
effect. It may not look pretty and the well rotted stuff does
look
prettier but with mulch on top, who cares or will even notice?
I have a small muck heap near the stables and a big one in the
corner of
the paddock but at this time of year when the ground is wet I have
chucked it straight onto the garden or any available bit of ground,
it
has never caused any problems I just dont usually admit to doing it
:-)
Atta girl! Now stop that coyness and start singing the praises of
pure horse poop loud and long. For too long pure horse poop has had a
bad reputation and you and I both know that such a reputation is
totally undeserved, it's time we true believers educated the benighted
:-))))
