1349.0. "Free horse manure available?" by STAR::BATBOUTA () Thu Aug 30 1990 11:41

    
    Hi,
    
    	I normally don't read this notesfile.  But I am looking for some
    horse manure for my garden and compost pile.  Horse manure is suppose
    to be an excellent organic fertilizer.
    
    This seems an appropriate notesfile to pose this question in.  I live 
    in Hollis NH and was wondering if anyone in the southern NH area could
    help.  You can reach me on STAR::BATBOUTA or pose replies to this
    note.
    
    	Thanks.
    
    	-Ellen.

1349.1Wait for the late fallNAC::SCHLENERThu Aug 30 1990 16:049
    I would suggest that you compost the horse manure for a year - give or
    take. Typically, you not only get the manure but the shavings as well.
    Unfortunately, the shavings will be soaked with (or at least contain)
    urine. If you put the manure/shavings on your garden now, the acid from
    the urine will probably burn your flowers/vegies. If you wait til the
    late fall to spread the manure when your garden is dead, by next year
    the manure should have had a chance to neutralize.

1349.2Manure will be for next year's gardenSTAR::BATBOUTAThu Aug 30 1990 18:087
    
    Yup, that is exactly what I plan to do.  After I clean out the veggie
    garden, I plan to put the manure down and then rototill it into the
    soil.  It's basically fertilizer for next year's garden.

1349.31 horse = 32 tons of manure.....BOOVX2::MANDILEFri Aug 31 1990 13:426
    Unfortunately, you couldn't live any farther from me
    (o.k., Alaska maybe) then NH, as I live down near
    Cape Cod,(Middleboro, MA) 495S.  But if you want some 
    free manure, feel free to contact me off line.

    Thanks for everyone's help.  I did get quite a few replies.  Thanks.
    
    I got my horse manure this week-end.  So I should have a great garden
    next year.
    
    Thanks again.

1349.5Any in Central Mass?GOLF::WHITMOREFri Jul 12 1991 11:3410
    Hi,
    
    Is there anyone in the Central Mass (I live in Auburn) area who has
    extra, unwanted, unloved manure that they'd like to get rid of?  I've
    just finished clearing a section of my lot for a perennial garden I
    want to start next year and the soil *needs help*.  
    
    Thanks!!!
