Hands down... followed by composted emu, then old cow patties. Horse is ok, but tends to be a bit hot if not well composted. -- Peace, Om.

"James" wrote in message ups.com... Given a choice of free shit, which would you chose? Fresh horse shit from the fields Needs to be aged, can't be used straight away. Horse shit from a pile several years old Fine Horse shit straw mix from the stable Needs to be aged and there is a greater chance of importing seeds from where ever the feed the horses are on was cut. Rabbit shit Too hard to collect a substantial amount. 2 year old chicken shit and sawdust from the chicken coop Good Dried cow chips Fine Your own poop No. Too many pathogens. Urine OTOH is OK, it is a good source of Nitrogen and in healthy people it is sterile. David |

I used to see it in the SC Market Bulletin advertised for free if you went and got it yourself, or for a small fee if it was delivered. I haven't been watching for it recently as I have a wonderful source of composted horse manure. It makes really nice compost, but those little coco puffs can take a long time to break down if you don't put a layer of mulch of some sort over them. Look funny floating in mud puddles, too!

We got a pair of guinea pigs, and I shake out their blankets in the compost box. This year's box has never run hotter -- it's been great. Last fall's leaves have completely broken down. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ Sponsor me for the Big Climb!

One year I dug about two feet down in a cold frame, and layered about 6 inches of fresh horse manure, then buried it under the dirt. I planted lots of greens, including dill, that grew beautifully all winter. the only problem I had was if they got too tall and pressed up against the glass, they'd get nipped during freezes.

The only producers of rabbits around here are seen hopping about the pasture and sadly they produce where ever they feel like it. I can see that more intensive farming methods would alter that.
