Garden compost or horse muck
Which is best for spreading around my border
1. Well rotted horse manure or 2. Compost from grass cuttings, kitchen waste etc which has rotted down to a fine tilth soil. TIA -- John Griffiths Baxenden U.K. http://www.johngriffiths.net |

This shouldn't be an either/or question. Both are good for garden soil -- the manure provinding more nutrients; the compost more organic matter. Both are best employed 'dug in' and not just spread around, although they will both eventually trickle down. The only caveat I know about horse manure is that it tends to be somewhat weedier than the cow variety. Although "well-rotted" may have killed many weed seeds. Enjoy! |
