Horse manure is produced in "doddle" shapes, usually well hidden in lots of bedding material, whereas cow muck is produced in "pats" , which are wetter and claggier and just on their own, therefore much heavier and more difficult to spread around.
What a subject to be dealing with as I eat my dinner.
Hi Diddy. I'm good but shattered as usual. 7 hours today finished just as the rain started so good timing
So what I use and why...Horse manure if soil soggy. Cow if dry. Manure beefs soil up. Opens it up if wet and sticky adds weight if dry, stony, chalky. Also good weed suppressant.
Chicken pellets Spring if I think garden needs a good boost, if not BFB. Green manure great for vege plots where you clear the ground and need to boost nutrients. Bonemeal in planting holes for shrubs, perennials...root development. Various different things like seaweed, epsom salts, potash for particular nutrients that might be lacking and miracle grow for bedding and hanging baskets....makes them flower themselves to death! Think thats everything

why is horse manure prefered to the use of cow manure?
Not sure actually, I buy it as 'farmyard manure' not sure what animal it's from, could be horse or cow I suppose?
