It'll be full of fine roots and root hairs. You could mix it with some of soil conditioner such as dried farm manure, or mix it about 4:1 with compost off the compost heap and use it for potting on, or for hanging baskets, but by far and away the best use is to use it as bulker on the compost heap with layers of horse poo and rotting veg.
No poo in our compost thank you.... we are totally orgasmic organic ![wink ;)](https://chat.allotment-garden.org/Smileys/green/wink.gif)
Definition of 'organic' in respect to growing food:
Under organic production, the use of conventional non-organic pesticides, insecticides and herbicides is greatly restricted and saved as a last resort. However, contrary to popular belief, certain non-organic fertilizers are still used. If livestock are involved, they must be reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth hormones, and generally fed a healthy diet. In most countries, organic produce may not be genetically modified. It has been suggested that the application of nanotechnology to food and agriculture is a further technology that needs to be excluded from certified organic food. The Soil Association has been the first organic certifier to implement a nano-exclusion.
Cant get more organic than poo from grass fed horses.
I think that is the Soil association dictat sorry guidelines for 'organic'.
To me organic means growing crops using traditional Crop Husbandry methods, FYM is by its nature organic as it is a natural product as opposed to inorganic fertilisers which are 'man-made'
If we have to sell to SA or UKROF standards then yes we do need to think about anti-biotics, and indeed the fungicides applied to the straw the animals are bed onto. But most allotmenteers are simply growing for friends, family and fun.
I juts don't think we need to get too wrapped up rules and regs for our own hobby.
just my opinion, naturally.....
