Would like to hear any information on putting horse manure in vegetable
gardens as opposed to commercial fertilizers. I would like to apply it
now? thanks hlb


I use horse manure on veg beds as I seem to recall does David H-S.

I use it in all stages from very fresh to old and rotted, but it depends on
the stage of the year and the plants I'm putting it on as to how fresh it
is. There are some major cautions on the use of horse manure and it's
sources that relate to where on the planet you are and also some seasonal
hints. You don't say where you are on the planet and what season you are
having so I won't go on without that info.
