g'day kylie,

i would be expecting there to be a fair bit of urine in it coming from
stables, so this would help the break down more quickly.

i would spread it over the bed in a light layer then mulch over it,
that way it will be less likely to take up nitrogen. the only thing
with sawdust it can pack down a bit.

also sounds like it is breaking down already. as for the potato beds
if you added this now and covered with mulch i would think that it
will be broken down enough by then, can't see it affecting the
asparagus, just add light layers about a month apart maybe?

are you aware of whether this stable material was collected at the
time of worming of the horses, that may be the only consideration in
its use?
