"The piles are turned and watered until the mixture becomes dark and crumbly, bearing little resemblance to the original components. After three months, the compost is cool and ready for use in home gardens."

This zoo doo sounds like a HYDRATED product! Do you like paying for water? I don't, and compost can contain a lot of water unless it is well dehydrated in a dry climate. Plus, water starts the ball of decomposition in motion. As long as it stays wet, it has a relatively short shelf life, and you'd better use it right away. Like I said, the buffalo manure from Steve is BONE dry, as in it is dessicated in the Arizona sun and super low humidity. It can be stored that way for years without losing viability. Here is a picture of it:



I like the stuff he sells because it works really, really well to grow mushrooms, it is bone dry, it is well packaged, and it is very well sifted to even out particle size and remove rocks, sticks, etc.

I have free aged, dried horse manure by my place, and I use it supplemented with the buffalo manure during bulk grows. While it's free and thus very tempting to use, the horse manure is not as good as this buffalo manure for many reasons. For one it isn't nearly as easy to use because you have to pick out the dried poo nuggets, break them up, take the rocks out, etc. After you've done all of that, your first batch of shrooms still smell like pee somewhat because those first batch of shrooms draw up some of the urea that didn't leach out (sick I know but true) because horse stable manure isn't well leached like the Steve's buffalo manure which is collected off a huge free range ranch. With his buffalo manure there is no urea smell at all.

It is hydrated.

I like it cause its only 6 miles away from me...so no shipping.



There is one draw back...they only sell it a couple times a year.

I know people that buy it by the truck load...and swear by it.

It's good shit!~

Thats for 5 pounds..so shipping plus the 5 bucks makes it 17 bucks...5 pounds of horse poo runs you closer to 25. So how is it so terrible? I plan on ordering some of that stuff from him for Pans soon..
