I aquired this poo/straw/pine chips about a week ago, it was aged already but I wet it down a few times and left it outside in the rain and sun until today. I am hoping to spawn some WBS to it but I am feeling a bit iffy because of the pine chips in it. I am a newb and I was hoping I could get some help here. First off, is this manure mix ok to use as bulk after pasteurization etc? If not, is there anything I can do to make it usable? I have a bag of store bought composted manure, should I mix these together?
     I should also add that I have been breaking up the horse poo with my hands everyday when I turn it over in the sun. That is why you dont see very many chunks.

Try sifting the wood chips out. Take a ordinary sifter and throw the manure in and try and get as many of those wood chips out. After that's done you can search around these forums for ways to prepare it as a sub. Good Luck!

age it for a year gets rid of all the sap and whatnot but then again not many of us have a year so a month should do.
i would just bring it to feild capacity and use that maybe fluff it up with some coir or straw as needed.

i've used 2 brands of store-bought manure... one has bunches of wood matter in it, one doesn't... it's just my experience, but the one with the wood chips outperforms the one without, by a decent margin... the wood chips seem to keep it from compacting so much, gives it a little structure...

Don't use manure from a pile.
Pick it from the pasture.
