Then there is that other stuff about not adding too much for fear of
burning the roots of your plants.


I've begun to think that 'burnign' story is an urban myth. I've yet to kill
anything with horse poop and I'm pretty sloppy about the way I spread it and
sometimes the stuff I spread has come from the insides of a horse less than
a day ago.


I wasn't specifically referring to horse manure. Chicken and rabbit
manure can be toxic to plants, as can alfalfa meal, or fish emulsion, if
not added according to directions.
