Horse shit

[gasgan]

I have very simple Q , does horse shit improve growing medium? I have loads of this stinky shit near by and i am wondering if i should go dig some ground up and place some horse shit into ground for next outdoor season. What do you think people?

Well your timing is very good.
This is the time to be prepping the ground for next season.
Sheep manure is supposed to be the caviar of shit... but if you have access to horse apples, find the rottenest ones in the heap and use those.
Make sure if the horses had sawdust bedding you avoid adding sawdust to your grow spot because it will definitely disrupt your nutrients.
The rule of manure is the older the better... last year's dung is worth its weight in dankness. If possible, you should mix it in the soil in fall, but since this winter is so royally fucked weather wise, if the ground is not frozen you should still be okay.

sure but add all of the other nutes to and perlite. it would be a good start in helping you build some good compost..just remember the n-p-k is very important in the life cycle of dank

i should awoi saw dust? but what if it is mixed with horse poo ?

No sawdust.
The decomposition of wood material is a N scaveging process... you're going to starve your plants if there's much sawdust in there! I hate to say it, but you might have to rinse off your poops ... bucket, hose, hold your nose!!!!

Horse shit is high in K as well! Use the dryest dung possible! That way you are assured of it's age! Add a lil' lime too!
