Re: Horse Manure - advice needed
According to my limited knowledge of manure and agricultural education,
horse manure has the smallest amount of nitrogen due to the diet. Most
people raising horses don't want a fat horse and therefore limit the
amount of corn (high in nitrogen) in their diet. My high school ag
instructor rated manure from varous sources in this order: chicken
(very in nitrogen..manure will burn plants), cow/cattle, sheep, and
finally horse manure. The diets of these animals dictate the amount of
nitrogen and other substances.
Just my 2 cents.
