[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1244565, member: 18945"] My Dad also used horse poop in a small garden he had behind his house. He never did cool weather gardens--rains too much here so in the fall, he would till about a dozen deep trenches, shovel the soil out, throw in poop, then backfill a layer of soil on top of the poop, then a layer of poop, till that up, then repeat until he had the original trenches filled in with soil/poop mixture and mounded up some. By spring, that was some good rich soil and he grew huge tomatoes and squash. He said horse poop had more of "the good stuff" in it because the horses didn't digest as much of the grass they ate, and pooped out better manure than the cows did. He just went around during the late summer, and picked up horse poop by the 5 gal bucket and collected it for his garden. He also grew a couple rows of colored cotten there just for the heck of it--brown mostly. I still have some of the seeds from those brown bolls--been meaning to try it but not sure if it's still any good. His cotton stalks were over 5 feet high. :shock: [/QUOTE]
