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.


I wonder how many people here have ever killed anything with any sort of
fertiliser? I know I haven't.

Anyone want to put up their hand and tell us if you have and if you did,
what did you do?


Too much alfalfa meal on plants in pots. It just fried them. You could
smell the ammonia.
