Horse/Cow Poo?

[user 4295]

The link I posted clearly says that raw, fresh poo should not be used for fertilizing. Only poo that has gone through a thorough, hot, active compost process.

Ive got a few horses and my neighbor friends family raises cattle. So theres poo everywhere. Does anybody think i could just scoop up some cow patties and then just mix it in with top soil and fill holes where i plan to transplant my potted hops?

I don't grow Hops but i`m a big believer in the power of horse manure.
and yes it needs to compost for quite a while.

We tilled 2 tons of the stuff in the Garden last year and it really made it grow like mad.

I've based the way i fertilize my hops on Oregon State's fertilizer guide for hops (http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/pdf/fg/fg79-e.pdf). That is why if you choose organic options i would recommend composted chicken manure because you get more N and K. I use all liquid fertilizers on my hops because it takes less time and money and i don't feel the need to be organic.

I will never get rid of that post! The sheep are good though, and the poop is better! No Did I just say that?
