Default Horse Manure

Mark,

Are you growing outside?

I tried it with an ailing cym in an inside growing area and found it
almost oderless. I also found my fungus gnats loved it.

The cym died by the way, but probably would have anyway.

In a Yahoo Orchid group there was a thread on potting in horse
manure. Having a couple of horses and a few plants needing repotting
I thought I would try a little horse manure. My first thought after
doing the repotting was I wonder if the smell will ever diminish not
that I find horse manure offensive. Has anybody else tried this? I
really can't see switching over to manure but if we don't experiment
we will never know.

I may have missed some of the horse manure discussion but let me add
fresh is bad as it will burn your roots. Horse manure that has been
composted over winter is good when used in moderation with Cym's. It's
even more fantastic when used on rose and vegetable gardens.

Grow well and bloom magnificently
