Manure

I have been offered a quantity of horse manure which is mixed with wood chippings and shavings rather than straw,I have been told not to use this as it takes the nitrogen from the soil to break down the wood. Is this correct please?

it's utter tosh.
I'd guess the proportion of wood shavings to manure will have no detrimental effects on the soil. If you don't want it, I'll have it.
and don't forget the hugely high nitrogen content of horse wee wees.
at least it won't be full of seed which might be a problem with straw
Thank you. Will pick a load up this week.
I'm V jealous
I wasn't suggesting using it now, but having it.
Sorry if I seemed to imply othewise.
