a few quick horse poo questions
    #7792817 - 12/23/07 02:51 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

1. is "composted" horse manure the same thing that we look for and use? (found a source for free composted hpoo)

2. should i screen, chop, or prepare it in any way other than pasturization?


thats all :smile: thanks for any help

composted is just as good as regular h-poo, sometimes better. and it will usually need to be leeched of its ammonia before you can pasteurize. smell it, if it smells awful it needs to be leeched, if it smells like nothing it doesnt.

If it is composted it will have been leached already. That is part of the composting process.

I will never buy the store bought(composted manure) Hpoo again. It reaked no matter how much I leached it. It contained small chunks of wood that the mycelium didnt like to colonize. The mycelium took almost three times longer to colonize it. I dont know exactly why but the mycelium just does not like it. Maybe they put some type of fungicide in it. The bag I bought was at Homedepot and cost 99cents for a big bag.

I went out to a horse farm and picked up about 30lbs of aged Hpoo.The mycelium colonizes it very fast. It has no poo smell just smells like a horse when wet. It has been the best substrate I have used. I would never use the store bought stuff again. So just take a drive and pickup some old Hpoo,Cowpoo that you find.

this was kind of my point before...often "composted" manures are not really professionally composted or sometimes they are not actually composted at all. i used to buy poo as well that said it was "composted" and still reeked of ammonia, had to be leached and still totally sucked...my ammonia smell went away after i leached though.

the wood you found in your poo was probably cedar, a natural fungicide.
