http://www.survivalistboards.comWhile trying to find other sources of fertilizer, a nice lady and her husband gave me a truck load of horse manure. I used the manure to side dress the peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. The horse manure acts like a slow release fertilzier.organic, gardening, horse, manure, garden, fertilizer

Nov 18, 2008 - My Father-In-Law says horse and cow manure has too much salt in it--something about how they have to constantly eat salt (salt licks) because they can't store it--has anyone else heard of this?

Nov 18, 2008 - thats a good find , manure should always be aged like that, I can't believe people think fresh manure is safe to use

Nov 18, 2008 - once or twice, we have horses of our own (12), and my dad put horse manure all over the front lawn after a hurricane hit and the trees (50-100 ft. fichus trees) fell (we buried them) and grass wasn't growing, so then after we poured it with the bobcat, it worked after 1 week we saw grass.

Nov 18, 2008 - does the manure have to be aged and can you use fresh stuff for anything? thanks

survivalistboards Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I have heard that aged / composted manure works best.Be sure to visit the website.
