Yes I am very excited as I have found a free source of horse manure. A great big mountain of it. Apparently the far side is 2 to three years old with fresh stuff at the front. To a girl ( well a little more mature ) who had a pile of horse s--t for a birthday present one year it is like discovering heaven.
Craft club are going to have a Saturday trip to do some very dirty mountaineering and digging of the above mountain. One of the girls has a trailer too, even better.
I have so many ideas what I want to do with this almost unlimited supply of manure ( it's from stables where people look after there own horses so there is a wide variety of bedding used).
I am going to help my craft lady make a no dig bed on what is now a over grown veg patch too using a load of it too.
Manure, manure manure.
I am like a big kid in a sweet shop just like my craft lady was in the recycled wood place.
Does anyone else get excited over this sort of waste or am I as mad as my hubby thinks I am.

We need photographic evidence of this 'mountain' of 'maunure' if you please

I will see what I can do

I have to collect about half a ton every week, whether I want it or not. It pales a bit when it's p**ing down and freezing, and my ground is ankle deep in mud

Yes I'm with Marc on this one. Did you know a horse (or pony) will crap as many as 16 times per day ! Oh and I have three of them here. Yes lots of S***t made worse by the fact that mine live out so it's not even in one place !!
