oh yeah, here's a question:

if manure has been sitting in a barn for a long time, will it compost or help a compost pile cook, or is it already composted?

I'm not sure whether the pile has to be old or new to compost, I am new at the idea. I can tell you our results though. Our old (more than a year) pile was not steaming any more when my husband's niece took it. Actually the center and bottom was like black dirt, almost like that bagged Black Cow manure you can buy at Home Depot. The new pile, which is what has been taken out of the stalls every day, is SMOKING hot when it gets moved. On the weekend, we move the hot pile with a tractor and when it gets dug into, it smokes. My guess is the new stuff would help your pile compost better since the urine and bacteria are fresh. I don't know much about composting but I think whatever reaction is making the smoke is done by the time the pile is a year old.

My husband's niece took the old pile because it doesn't smell so horsey and she was afraid the fresh stuff would burn what little grass she had. In the end, they spread it about 4" thick and rolled down brand new sod over top. They have the only nice yard in their neighborhood!

I built lots of raised beds at my old house in Houston, where nothing would grow in the gumbo dirt. Seemed like a good idea until I found out how much the soil would be to fill them. Instead of paying for dirt to be delivered, I filled them with garbage cans full of the old manure pile from the place I boarded my horse. I had a fabulous garden there, I could even grow hibiscus and gardenias :)

I have a friend who might be interested. Could you email me your address? Actually I might be interested too! I'm in Flower Mound also.

This thread was recommended by someone in the compost forum. Email me please so that I can pick up the compost for my rose beds.

Thanks,

Please tell me you still have the free horse manuer? If so please email me at sumeyko.jones@fisglobal.com. Thank you!

thank you

I'm interested in the horse manure, do you still have some available? I bought some mixed manure and frankly (no pun intended) it stinks! Not of very good quality. I would love to get my hands on some of the real stuff.

Thanks

I was wondering if you still had any more horse manure. I have all kinds of containers to fill if you have still more manure and can bring you many more to store the manure for you to keep on your property. Could e-mail your address or contact me. My cell number is 972-748-3658. My e-mail address is GabrielLeal@greenfireenvironmental.com
Thank you

Me too! Please let me know if the good stuff is still available.

Hi,

I'm interested in the free horse manure for composting. I live in Arlington, TX 76002. Please respond with instructions on how to contact you to make arrangements for pick up. Thanks SGmoma

Do you deliver?
I'm not far away, Ontario, Canada!
Just joking, wish I lived closer.
On second thoughts, I'm better off where I am, no offense intended.

Hello! I hope you are still offering the compost. Please let us know your location. We are based close by. Thank you.

I live nearby in Lewisville and I'm getting my garden ready. Do you have a pickup load available? I'll bring my shovel and fill the back up when you say okay.

Offering horse manure, you haul..McKinney, TX area

Do you still have free horse manure in McKinney?

Hi Kitty,

do you still have horse manure?

does anyone else know of a place in/around Mckinne/frisco where we can get/buy pure horse/cow/goat etc manure?

Hello Ryan, Here's two suggestions. Go to Plano's website and look for their mulch and compost. One of their facilities is located just off Sam Rayburn between Mc Kinney and Frisco. They will load it for you. For fresh cow manure,there's a feed lot behind the NTMWD landfill on 121 in Melissa. Sic-um

Thanks a lot Klem1. Do you happen to know the name of the feed lot?

Stoney Point. Take 121 East and turn right on FM 545 beside CVS pharmarcy. Hang with 545 for about 3 miles and you will see it,or smell it for certain. Be nice, offer a gratuity for loading and you'll be fine.

Thanks a lot again

I'll have free horse manure available for routine pickup this summer in Sunnyvale, Texas if anyone is interested. If shavings are mixed in, will that be a problem?

Are you still offering manure?

Hello, do you still offer horse manure, and do you have any aged manure available?

Hello, do you still offer aged horse manure, and do you have any available at the moment?

How much do you need and what do you consider aged? Is this a regular need? It is mixed with wood shavings, does that present a problem?
