Composting horse manure?

I have always heard that cow manure is vastly better for gardening than horse manure, but I do have a neighbor with a horse. What if I composted the horse manure and allowed it to age for a year or two before use? A Yahoo search on Compost "horse manure" produced these and other results: whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/compost/horsecompost.htm www.piercecountycd.org/tip_compmanure_p.html http://www.ehow.com/how_5474391_comp...se-manure.html Based on them, three months in the summer and six months in the winter is adequate for horse manure in a compost pile. Because horses and cows are vegetarians, their manures are preferable to that of other animals. But are manure needs to be composted for three to six months before applying to the soil. Dick |
