Adding horse manure to the garden

http://www.survivalistboards.com

While 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.

does the manure have to be aged and can you use fresh stuff for anything? thanks

[survivalistboards]

I have heard that aged / composted manure works best.

Be sure to visit the website.

You need a rear tine tiller.  A lot easier to use.

I have used a rear tine, and I like the front tine tillers better.

Would horse manure work on producing high yielding cannabis?

I really like your videos! One great thing about them is where your at i just love out in the country the woods the freedom no neighbors real close to you.And I like all you planning ahead and garden and fruit tree stuff.It just makes good sense a fruit tree is a food factory thats so much a super bargain.We burn wood as extra help and gas heat if we get in a crisis and the gas were off we can cook on our wood stove i have done that.Anyway thanks for interesting videos...

@bilaczenko

True, I my self wouldnt dare add fresh manure to a pile be for properly processing it. But if you cure/compost the manure correctly it will kill weed seeds and fly larvae etc...

@pegasuswa Picking up horse manure from a paddock is very bad news , the horse has eaten weeds including seeds, the result of adding paddock horde manure into a garden is overgrown giant weeds ... big misstake! the only horse manure to add safely to a garden is manure taken from race horse pens as the feed which is given such as chaff, lucerene pea or wheat straw is usually weed free.
