My grandparents were big on returning to the soil what you took from it, so the manure went back to the fields, and the kitchen waste went back to a fallow area in the garden. As a backyard horse owner and gardener, I cherish my composted horse manure. It goes on the gardens through out the summer. We have dumped tons of manure and shavings, but the pile gets used and composts down. The pile sits for a year before "harvested" for the garden. We alternate between two piles, dumping on one while digging out of the other. When we think about moving, I wonder if I can move my manure pile! foffmomnoreply@blogger.com
