horses poo for me, fairly local stables and me mate drops it off in his truck  and they look after them well at the stables. You never know what they feed the cows with to bulk them up. :roll:  :roll:

cows muck has a much higher fartiliser content than horse as it is manily straw  if your able to walk a paddock and collect apples the  thats better .but if you can get it the longer you let it rot down the better  adding anyother manure/ comp[ost you can get

TRY KEEPING A FEW GUINEA PIGS AND RABBITS TO PREPROCESS VEGETABLE PLOT WASTE AND ADD TO COMPOST HEAP AS ACCELERATOR AND ADDITIONAL NUTRIENTS. used in layers helps prevent heap from drying out in hot weather.
