Re Horses, Horse Manure, Gardens and Gardeners
The thread on Horse manure and Gardeners has brought quite a bit of
response, both from those who would like Horse Manure and those who have it and would like to get rid of it. I don't know if it could be done in the respective areas of the readers of this newsgroups, but I am the Editor of our local newsletter and in the next Issue, I will invite those with the horses, to put a contact name, address , telephone number or email address in whereby those who want the stuff, can make contact to their 'mutual advantage'. I don't somehow think it will open the flood gates and I might even be able to get some stuff for our compost bins. (Temperature 112F today) Mike |

(Temperature 112F today) Mike A thought for those that have & want to get rid.... every morning I drive past a gate that often has bags of horse manure piled outside. By the time I drive past again on my homeward journey the only thing left is the big sign that says "Horsesh*t - help yourself". Pam. |

Fine for those going by, but what about the likes of me for example who 'don't' go by and would like to know where these places are? ;-} |

ITs hard to get it at reasonable prices round here. Esp if you wish it delivered. // Jim I found the same problem so was quite stunned to hear that so many livery satbles, riding schools , horsey people have to pay to have their pile taken away seems many of them simply do not think to put a sign out or put it in bags so those passing can indeed collect as they need ...........i know one place where they do this all they ask is you return the bags .......most of us throw out heavy weight potting compost bags when they could be recycled in this way |

Re Horses, Horse Manure, Gardens and Gardeners
snip seems many of them simply do not think to put a sign out or put it in bags so those passing can indeed collect as they need ...........i know one place That works in some places but if you are in a rural area where many people have horses it does not work. So I continue to pay the local farmer to take it away and some I put in the corner of the field to rot. Many people are happy to take it if we bag it up and take it to them for free but I have had enough of that silly game kate |

Or if you just live on a road with very little passing traffic. Also, if you work during the day, you don't necessarily want to put a sign outside your house inviting people to come in and help themselves when you are not there. Not every horse-owner runs a riding stables: even if you just have a couple of horses the shit piles up with surprising speed. And a massive steaming heap by the roadside is not always possible. Surprisingly enough, there are people who don't like to see that sort of thing (non-gardeners, eh?) Victoria |
