Default Horse Manure



An organic farmer that used to post here did not like the idea of
using manure on food crops as it contained a strong pesticide used to
keep flies down.


I've never owned horses but I thought most stable used fan systems now.
No?


Probably, no.

I've never seen a fan in a stable round b'yer, and I've worked in them,
and know a lot of people with horses. (And free barrows of muck!)

I have horses but never needed any sort of fan system. open top doors are
good enough for me and them. It is possible that a fan of some sort might be
used in the barn type stabling that is used over here and other parts of the
world where all the horses are kept in one large building but thinking about
that they usually have large doors at each end and some have windows and
doors in the sides. A hot country would probably use fans but don't need
them where I am :-)
