It's better with the shavings in it (wood shavings?). These soak up the uric acid which from horses is very strong. It is also an excellent fertilizer (very high in phosphorous). Unmixed horse manure (even when rotted) is still very strong and can burn plants. So if your heap is in layers, it is good! I would start a new heap every few months, as people will be more interested in the older stuff. Cover the heaps you are not using with heavy plastic sheet weighed down with bricks and it will rot quicker and hotter.Only problem with that is that we have just being dumping both the shavings and the rotted manure in the same heap and I'm sure they wouldn't want to be sifting through it, but thats an idea going forward alright.
If you still have it, I can collect it from you. Where are you located? I'm in Co. Cork.
Hi Vova, yes there is a nice load of it still there, it is the Carlow area if of any use to you, long spin from Cork though..
Huh! That stinks!Lovely. Images of gettin' stuck behind slow moving vehicle from Carlow to Cork with that load
To the best of my knowledge, horse manure is an unsuitable fertiliser, except for certain plants, eg rhubarb.Well rotted manure is a fantastic fertiliser, can you offer it to a gardener??
