If I can get him to give me some of his animal's muck, say from the stalls or whatever, can I use it on the garden? In the compost? Or am I wasting my time? Does it have to be rotted like horse manure? What about diseases, are there likely to be any problems? I used to keep a large number of free range birds and always composted their litter from the nesting roosting houses, it was very good stuff and when I could get wheat straw bedding it grew amazing mushrooms around the base of my tomato plants after being laced with spores. (And many other rather more unexpected places) That's good to know. I'd be quite happy to mix it into the compost bin. -- Tim C. |
