I get pigeon poo off the guys on our site about a bag a week I was using it as an accelerator on the compost Just wondered if it would be worth using it on its own once it has rotted

I've just heard I can get free horse whatsit from a nearby stables but I'll have to bag it and move it myself (seems fair)...should I get heavy duty black sacks and leave it in (sealed up) for a while...or stick it in a big pile to rot down...or just spread it about and dig it in?

wouldnt fancy leaving manure in plastic bags mate might be a bit of a wet guey mass when you empty it out,i would tip it out in a pile and leave open.then dig it in when the weather imprves idealy it shouldnt smell when its rotted down.
feed the soil not the plants
organicish
you learn gardening by making mistakes
