You're really lucky to have horse poo. *We once bought some horse poo from
a
Dulwich stable, but the price was rather high. *I resent paying for
something that is, in all honesty, free waste. *Anyway, 'Him indoors'
won't
have a tetanus shot, so I daren't use HP for fear he gets something he'll
never get rid of. *It's just as well I can produce good compost without
it.
I do use chicken poo pellets for a seasonal boost, though.

I thought you paid for the back breaking work of collecting and
bagging the stuff and feeding the horses / ponies in the first place.


Rather like the old fashioned TV repairer - called out - looked at the
set - thumped it - picture back. *Charged £1, that's steep said the
customer; "how do you work that out?" *Well said the repairer - the
thumps 6d - knowing where to thump - 19/6d.


LOL! *Thumping good yarn :~)



You probably need to muliply by 100 to get it up to date.
Feeding horses & ponies is just about the same - but in any case I
think horse manure is now controlled waste so you probably can't buy
it at all nowadays.


Goodness. *The horses must be shi**ing themselves laughing! *In our
'reduce-reuse-recycle everything' world that is plainly off-the-scale crass.
Anyway, I'm still not paying for it, so there! :~)
