the manure next to the barn smells like crap.
Rotting horse manure is a reduction reaction. During the decomposition process, organic compounds in the manure are broken down by microorganisms, resulting in a gain of electrons by the molecules involved in the reaction.
Horse manure is a good source of organic matter and nutrients for soil. It helps improve soil structure, retains moisture, and enhances microbial activity. However, fresh horse manure should be composted before use to prevent the risk of pathogens and weed seeds.
Manure adds organic matter to the soil, improving its structure and increasing nutrient availability for plant uptake. Limestone soils are often alkaline, and manure can help balance the pH by increasing acidity over time, making nutrients more accessible to plants.
Manure has a tendency to slightly lower soil pH, making it more acidic. This is because manure releases acidic compounds as it decomposes. It is important to monitor soil pH levels when using manure as a fertilizer to ensure proper soil health for plant growth.
Manure is organic matter used as organic fertilizer in agriculture.
Pile the manure in heaps over there. When I was MUCH younger, I used heaps of sugar in my tea.
Do you mean manure? Manure has nitrogen that plants use.
cow... actually you use the gases from decomposing manure.
Horse manure is a good fertilizer, however, their are other animal manure that is better, such as cow manure. Horse manure works fine too though.but the best to use is elephant manure.
Any time really, you just have to wait a while. Horse manure is not like cow manure. You can't use it for soil right away.
It is a good idea to use aged manure or compost when planting chrysanthemums.
Horse manure needs to be composted for about one year before it is safe to place around plants. You compost manure in mush the same way you would anything else. Once it reaches the consistency of dirt then it's safe to use. Most people seem to have their own 'recipes' for composts.
Yes and yes. The horse manure should be well rotted before use as fresh manure can burn stems and roots. Only if there is E.coli,which is unlikely, in the manure is there any risk.
People use manure in their gardens so that they have richer soil into which they grow their crops or gardens. It helps keep the plant healthier, which in turn means it is more likely to live and this is what people appreciate and why they use manure in their garden.
Use the manure.
To effectively use sheep manure as a fertilizer in your garden, you should first compost the manure to reduce the risk of burning your plants. Mix the composted manure into the soil before planting or use it as a top dressing around existing plants. Make sure to water the garden well after applying the manure to help nutrients seep into the soil. Regularly monitor the soil's nutrient levels and adjust the amount of manure used accordingly.
I know you soak horse manure in water...then use the liquid as a natural fertilizer...but how long?
