Manure as fertilizer ...................

SteveB · 2009-03-03T02:06:32+00:00

I live in the middle of pasture land. Lots of free cow patties. My wife seems to think that this would make good fertilizer, or at least good mulch if tilled in.Other than using fresh dung for the production of food, are there any downsides to using manure? I believe I once read that stall manure had high levels of urea, and would not be good to put on plants. This is pasture manure, so it would not have as high urine level as stall manure.Yeah, I know I can go buy fertilizer, too. But I can also take the money I save and go fishing a few times.Tips and caveats on manure use? Good/bad for flowers or areas where I am going to put lawn?Thanks.Steve
