Jen, Will horse manure be good to mix with my soil ?
Horse Manure Amendment
Good question Wilson,
A major concern about horse manure is that it can cause a nitrogen deficiency when added to soils, leading to stunted, yellowed crops if not composted. It is not the manure that stunts the crops it is the sawdust or wood shavings.
If the manure has been sitting around for a year, it is perfectly safe to use. It has in effect been composted. If you are interested in making a compost pile for your manure see link . http://www.manuremaiden.com/compost-systems.php Many people pay a lot of money to buy horse manure for their gardens and you’re lucky enough to have it there giving you the opportunity for composting horse manure for your own needs.
I like to purchase my compost in bulk from Natures Way Resources and Landscaper’s Pride. You can purchase it bagged from Wabash. It is important to purchase from a reputable dealer since most vendors do not do the extra steps as it cost money and they do not care about the results or problems landscapers and gardeners experience.
